DEATH OF A MAN @ NEW WORLD PERFORMANCE LAB



Through Sunday, May 14, 2017

Kerry Clawson

Somber lighting, chanting and the ritual shaking of a tree branch by Colombian actor Jairo Cuesta has the Man warding off evil spirits as the story unfolds of more than two decades of terror and enslavement of the indigenous Uitotos by the rubber supplier. ... Directed by co-artistic director James Slowiak, the bald, shirtless Cuesta moves fluidly, at one with the jungle as he portrays a hissing snake, snarls as a four-legged animal and perches on a box like a large bird.
