Reid Farrington - Gin & "It" April 24, 2010

From April 24 to May 9, Reid Farrington presents at Performance Space 122 the NY Premiere of his new work : Gin & "It"

"What beauty there is in Mr. Farrington's work." - Claudia La Rocco, The New York Times

For his next work Reid Farrington's principle source is a film from the Master of Suspense. Again Farrington collaborates with film historians and archivists to bring a classic film to the stage with his own boundary-pushing melding of projected imagery and live drama.

The original movie's director attempted to transfer the compressed drama of a one-set play into a suspenseful film through the illusion of being shot in one uninterrupted film take. Farrington explores the making of this technical tour-de-force. His video theater work will mirror the technical feats of this daring film experiment.
