About
"This dance-theatre work focuses on our fascination with film and the mystique of movies, mixing movement, text, and media to do what SPDT does best: create poetic and dynamic head and heart pieces that examine and explode our need for love, longing, and the human-est of connections. Plus they are just amazing to watch." - American Theater Magazine
"A sumptuous multidisciplinary collaboration of film, theater, and dance" - Minneapolis Star Tribune
MATINEE is a dance-theater-film adaptation of American novelist Robert Coover's New Yorker short story of the same name, by SPDT Artistic Co-Directors Stuart Pimsler and Suzanne Costello, in collaboration with filmmaker Andrew Welken. Films-within-films-within-films collide as performers search for connection and romance, moving effortlessly through the stage and screen. MATINEE calls upon film noir, movie musicals, and romance, as it tells the story of a woman floating between the realms of reality and fiction.
