"Let me dance with devils on dead stars. Let my scars leave brilliant traces..."
From my pal Amber Kelly:
Theater of Thought presents Brilliant Traces by Cindy Lou Johnson
Directed by Jennifer Gelfer
Starring Amber Kelly and Ben Cole
Duo Theatre
62 E. 4th Street (between Bowery and 2nd Ave.)
PerformancesMarch 15-25
Thursday-Saturday @ 8
Sunday @ 3
The place is a remote cabin in the wilds of Alaska. As a blizzard rages outside a lonely figure, Henry Harry, lies sleeping under a heap of blankets. Suddenly he is awakened by the insistent knocking of an unexpected visitor--who turns out to be Rosannah DeLuce, a distraught young woman who bursts into the cabin in full bridal regalia. Exhausted, she throws herself on Henry's mercy, but after sleeping for two days straight, her vigor--and combativeness--return.
Both characters have been wounded and embittered by life, and both are refugees from so-called civilization. Thrown together in the confines of the snowbound cabin, they alternately repel and attract each other, until their very isolation proves to be the catalyst which allows them to break through the web of old griefs for the solace and sanctuary which only hard-won understanding, self-awareness and compassion for the plight of others can bestow.
