a new play by Laura Pedersen directed by Ludovica-Villar Hauser

The Kilgannons are a typical Irish family in 1974 Buffalo. However, the world is changing fast, the generation gap is widening, and the future is up for grabs. Will the Kilgannons find the serenity to accept the things they cannot change and the wisdom to know that what needs changing most is sitting around the dinner table?

An Essay in Movement about WWI

(Inspired by Sanja Krsmanović Tasić`s Tales of Bread and Blood)

Co-production of Ake Ake Theatre (New Zealand) and Hleb Teatar (Serbia)
Written and directed by: Sanja Krsmanović Tasić and Jessica Latton
Performed by: Jugoslav Hađžić, Sanja Krsmanović Tasić, Jessica Latton, Rhys Latton and Anastasia Tasić
Guest musician: Demir Ahmetović
Music: Jugoslav Hađžić
(Texts by Antonije Đurić, Rebecca West, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, XIV century unknown Japanese samurai )

Bright Shadow is inspired by the true story of Claire Pradier, daughter of Juliette Drouet and the sculptor James Pradier.
In this piece Claire Heggen takes inspiration from poems by Victor Hugo about her in his Contemplations, and in dialogue with Schubert’s string quartet Death and the Maiden.
Using a puppet as a go-between, animating the inanimate, Claire Heggen makes the uncertain figure of an angel appear and disappear, calling up the ghostly whiteness of a being who disappeared too soon.
