FUGITIVE TIME
Concieved and Directed by Janie Geiser
Developed with the Ensemble
September 26th - October 5th, 2014
Fridays through Sundays at Automata

Conceived/Directed by Janie Geiser, and developed with an ensemble of Los Angeles performers and designers, FUGITIVE TIME is a multidisciplinary performance inspired by the dual histories of illness and health in early 20th Century Los Angeles. FUGITIVE TIME centers on the life of a fictitious 1930's tuberculosis patient, who travels to Los Angeles to seek the prevailing cure:fresh air and sunshine in a hilltop sanitorium. FUGITIVE TIME merges puppetry, miniature landscapes, film, live-feed video, and music/sound to create an immersive, elliptical meditation on the body, illness, nature, and time.
