Fugue at New York International Fringe Festival - click for larger image

FUGUE SERIES is a silent movie come to life. The play is an ensemble mime piece set to an original score by Brian Wilbur Grundstrom and takes place in an art museum over the course of a day. In this New York world premiere, the cast creates a quick-change soufflé of people and personalities whose interweaving storylines become a visual fugue as they visit a museum gallery to view a series of three paintings. The aging artist’s model wanting to share her past acclaim with her adult daughter…the snooty critic, the chattering matrons, the uncomprehending tourists, the put-upon docent, the lovers…become their own living pictures at an exhibition, set to the music that only we, the audience, hears.
