Horse Trade Theater Group will present THEATER
IN ASYLUM’s dance theater production of Revolution in 1, written
by Katie Palmer in collaboration with Laura Aristovulos, Jake Lasser, Rebekah
Levin, Lizzy Palmer, Russell Peck, and Marchelle Thurman. The production

and will feature Laura Aristovulous, Samantha Keogh, Rebekah Levin, Lizzy
Palmer, and Marchelle Thurman with Original Music Composition by Randall
Benichak, Lighting Design by Dan Stearns, and Set and Costumes created

Revolution in 1 explores the relationship between
the two definitions of the word revolution: revolt and revolve. How and
why do individuals take a stand? What are the eventual, and potentially
inevitable, outcomes of this constant cycle of revolution?
In TIA's signature style of thrilling dance-theater performance,
Revolution in 1 will suspend the audience's preconceptions, analyze
the origins and myths around revolution, and leave audiences with new-found
understanding and empathy. This piece has been in development all of Spring
2012.
The production will run October 2-23 at The
Red Room (85 East 4th Street between 2nd Avenue
and Bowery), Tuesdays at 8pm. Tickets ($18, $15 students &
seniors) are available online at http://www.horseTRADE.info
or by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444.
