"One Arm and A Leg," conceived/written by Calla Videt and Jesse Barron, directed by Calla Videt, choreographed by Ricky Kuperman. Running time: 80 minutes. $12. (world premiere) http://www.theaterforthenewcity.net or http://www.dreamupfestival.org 212-254-1109  Inspired by Yasunari Kawabata's "One Arm," "One Arm and A Leg" is an devised work which combines dance and theater and begins with a set of encounters in which a woman decides to give parts of herself--her arm, her phone number, her leg, her identity--to a stranger, a man. This incites a search for things given, received, and lost. The project deals with themes of cultural translation, personal agency, sexuality, and self-sacrifice through text, movement, and image.  This play is part of the "Dream Up Festival"; a theater festival that takes place at the Theater for the New City (TNC) from August 8 to September 5, 2010.
