"Boundary-pushing" "Novel" "Provocative" - Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
[Richard Maxwell is] "One of the most innovative and essential artists to emerge from American experimental theater in the past decade." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times
Ads marks a new departure in the work of celebrated downtown auteur Richard Maxwell. In collaboration with photographer/cinematographer Michael Schmelling and technical director Bozkurt Karasu (Wooster Group).
ADS EXTENDS AGAIN on the following schedule:
Wed, Feb 3 - Sat, Feb 6
Wed - Sat at 8PM, plus additional Late Show on Saturday at 10PM
Read the FULL RAVE in the Times:
"What is novel — and perhaps provocative — is the notion that theater can take place without the direct participation of live people. Artists have been incorporating video and taped performance into theatrical works for many years, in many different ways, but there is usually some live component. Here the only one is the audience. “Ads” resembles a video installation in a modern-art museum more than a traditional stage piece, but it suggests in its quiet way that you can create humane, affecting works of theater without the literal presence of human beings." - Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
