Invocation Trilogy 3: Connection Of The Sticks

Shot as a series of stunning vignettes across three countries, Polish-Australian artist Kuba Dorabialski’s extraordinary film conjures the mystique and mysticism of the former Soviet Union. A champion ski jumper collides with ball lightning. Witches conduct wartime sabotage. Ecstatic dance resurrects a revolutionary leader. While party apparatchiks promoted socialism as a technologically advanced, ‘scientific’ project, Dorabialski uncovers a world in thrall to everyday magic and miracles. Narrated in a fictional pan-Slavic language with absurdist flair, Connections of the Sticks transports us to the Eastern Bloc as it lives on in retro-futurist fantasies, diasporic nostalgia and half-remembered family legends.

Liv Strömquist tänker på sig själv

A colorful, musical and humorous performance with both bizarre and everyday scenes. What happens to love when we try to choose a partner in a rational way? How does romance fare when we only care about our own happiness? And what can we really learn from Socrates, Beyoncé, Lord Byron and Leonardo DiCaprio before we all become discerning consumers in the singles market? Direction and dramatization by Ada Berger inspired by Liv Strömquist's book "The Reddest Rose Blooms".

The Show Can't Go On!

In what appears to be her last show, a burned out sketch comedy writer/director shares a behind the scenes look at the "mounting and sustaining" of "Orange Is the New Orange"; a sketch comedy show that skates on the edge of disaster. It's a look at "what could go wrong, that did go wrong." In this 90-minute mockumentary, Orange County Crazies founder Cherie Kerr finds herself in the middle of the most stressful production of her 40-year career. It starts with the first table read and takes the audience to the final curtain--the last night of the run.
