Multimedia Art Show Synesthesia Explores Process of Inspriation

Full Price:
$10.00
Our Price:
$5.00

Where do ideas come from? How is the artistic process born? The multimedia show Synesthesia tries to tackle those questions with a game of "creative telephone.", in which eight artists working in different genres work together to inspire each other. The first artist was asked to select a fortune cookie and given two weeks to create a piece based on the fortune. The next artist will see that creation and then must design his own pieces, and so on, until this show, which will be an evening of their work performed live, in sequence, providing a unique glimpse into the creative minds of these gifted artists.

Not all theatre is going to appeal to all audiences, and this one was not for us. We look for structure and pacing, but all we saw was long winded and rambling. Well intentioned maybe, but too free range for us. We fled after the 90 min! first act. Pass.

Liked it! Very poetic and verbose. Definitely not for everyone, but if you're into theatre poetry and/or absurdism, you'll enjoy. Some of the plays were better than others ("Fun Days at Sea" and "The Classroom" among them), but overall left the theatre pleased...and in deep thought.

Some incredibly off the wall pieces, and some incredibly well thought out performances, both cooky and grounded, but never too much, by a smoothly directed hand. It was a lot of fun, at points moving and funny, surprisingly creepy, but never quite as thought provoking as it could have been, going more for the dream like absurdity that would probably over come us if we knew we were on our way out.

The multimedia wasn't as interwoven with the stories as I hoped it would be, but it served to create a rich atmosphere for them.

Some of the finest theater artists in Los Angeles create an evening of such high caliber. From the art installations, the live music, the beautiful technical and production elements, to the amazing writing and acting and directing. I was shocked, surprised, entertained, and inspired. This is a must-see.
