Internationally acclaimed theater company Elevator Repair Service (ERS) continues their compelling experiments in literary adaptation. Founded in 1991 by John Collins, a veteran of The Wooster Group, ERS is known for its intoxicatingly original work, tapping sources from film to novels to television, and combining slapstick comedy, hi-tech and lo-tech design, and its own style of choreography. Taking a collaborative approach to theater making, this radical ensemble delves into a new, multilayered narrative piece for its Festival premiere.
“…famously venturesome…” – The New York Times
