The award-winning theatre ensemble The New York Neo Futurists return to NACL on Sunday, October 30th at 4 PM. Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is an ongoing attempt to perform thirty original plays in sixty minutes. The plays, all written and directed by the ensemble, are performed in random order as determined by the audience as the show goes along. The ‘menu’ of 30 plays changes each week; once a play leaves the menu, it is gone often forever.
Inspired by the Italian Futurists, whose artistic response to the industrial shock of the Twentieth Century was to embrace speed, movement, spectacle and mechanization, the New York Neo-Futurists venture forth into the Twenty-First Century, forging through New York City with a bold undertaking: in a society that is constantly changing.
The NEW YORK Neo-Futurists are: Christopher Borg, Lauren Sharpe, Jeffrey Cranor, Erica Livingston, Rob Neill, Adam Smith, Lusia Strus, Ryan Good, Jacquelyn Landgraf, Kevin Free, Alicia Harding, Cara Francis, Jill Beckman, Dan McCoy, Eevin Hartsough, Joey Rizzolo, and Christopher Loar. Rob Neil is artisticdirector.
The Neo Futurists perform 50 weeks of year at The Kraine Theatre, in the East Village, New York City.
Reviews:
“Like the glory days of Saturday Night Live, Too Much Light is not just funny but faintly surreal.”
Back Stage – GWEN OREL
“Like an entire Fringe Festival condensed into one show… it is the ideal entertainment for an audience with eclectic taste and a rapidly shrinking attention span.”
New York Times - JASON ZINOMAN
“The performance itself is unbeatable: spontaneous, exciting, and perfect for the ADD-riddled masses. The 30 plays… are alternately hilarious and heartbreaking.”
Washington Square News – JAMIE FELDMAR
“Intrepid, interactive theater performed by writers, directors, and actors. . . who are not afraid to be emotionally naked onstage.”
Drama Review - CINDY PIERRE
“A group of actors who attempt to perform 30 original plays in 60 minutes—an athletic endeavor to be sure, and one which viscerally exploits the connection between performer and spectator for maximum ka-pow.”
nytheatre.com – JEFF LEWONCZYK
“A rejuvenating exploration of the human condition.”
Washington Square News – MICHAEL CONNELLY
“Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind offers the perfect gift for everyone
on your list.”
New York Cool.com – TARA KOPPEL
“What separates Too Much Light from sketch comedy or improv is its deliberately eclectic approach to form. The show I saw included the genres of musical, confession, agit-prop, poetic gesture, physical comedy, puppet theater, audience interrogation, folk song, sex joke, something that can only be described as "dance-walking," mime, and many others.”
