Inspired by the Paul Leger (Vincent Gallo) character in the movie “Arizona Dream”, a stage performance based on live reinterpretations of cult movie scenes, loosely connecting to each other to build a story flowing via intuitions, connotations & impressions.

“DECAY, VICTIMAGE, APATHY, VIOLENCE, LOVE, RAGE, REVOLT… EVENTUALLY: A UNION… WRAPPED UP IN A STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS, CARRIED BY THE RESONANCE OF CINEMATIC MEMORIES AND A HUMOROUS JOY OF ACTING.”
