Description

As recounted by the camera, lighting, and sound engineer, Nathan Frank: "After experiencing a particularly painful alternative theater performance earlier in the day, Trevor was inspired to exorcise his own suffering. The performance, removed from the context of the theater, transported to a gloomy basement, and combined with a fair amount of cheap vodka, removes the pretense of experimental theater and replaces it with an undeniably palpable feeling of sad, dirty, desperation."

Original score by Chris Cohen.
