GROUNDBREAKING.
SITI Company, hailed around the world for their boundary shattering aesthetic and innovative work, present a new play that questions norms and challenges viewers.

 

A LOS ANGELES PREMIERE.

Now that brain science addresses problems of personal consciousness, neurological research has increasingly addressed the social processes of thinking: how we live and die by our commitments to particular views of life. The issues of the play are animated via a fictional quiz show, one that is devoted to the question: if you could re-live a scene of your life, using your knowledge of neurology, might it turn out better? Into that framework are thrown the structure and aesthetics of the Fassbinder film "Katzelmacher," about the circumscribed lives of young working class people, whose societal disillusionment is combined with a healthy dose of violently expressed xenophobia.
