In a Route 66-style motel a group of travelers gather at nightfall, each fleeing a troubling past, each on a quest. Their intertwining stories unfold across territories of the real, the imaginary and the magical. Inspired by Italo Calvino’s Crossed Destinies series, the project is concerned with subterranean longings and fears—the complex, ancient currents that exist beyond human language, with language always reaching.
This presentation is the result of a three-months rehearsal process led by director Ildiko Nemeth and includes improvisations, vignettes and text developed during the rehearsals. Presented by The New Stage Theatre Company.
