“Pictures from a Revolution” (“Quadri di una rivoluzione”)
By Tino Caspanello; English translation by Haun Saussy; Directed by Philip Boehm.
Upstream Theater presents the U.S. Premiere of this phenomenal play from Italy! Three last resistance fighters of an unidentified revolution are living inside the walls of a stadium, while enemies lurk outside, watching and waiting. One of the men goes looking for food and winds up bringing a woman into their closed circle. Are they right to trust her? The ensuing scenes echo a series of famous paintings by Rembrandt, Matisse, Degas, and others, and highlight themes touched on in the dialogues of this deep and darkly comic piece.
