Title: The Impossible Play Cycle
Venue and Format: Livestream
Innovation: The unexpected and ever-evolving structure of A Day lends itself beautifully to complexly mixed video, and this production will be presented in live video stream. In each of five performances, four actors will perform live from multi-camera green-screen booths, their performances mixed in real time with recorded video to create a sophisticated and surprising landscape of 24 seemingly ordinary hours.
The Cherry presents the English-language première of A Day by Québecoise writer Gabrielle Chapdelaine, translated by Josephine George and directed by Wendy Dann. This strange, funny, and tender new play will star Ithaca favorites, Karl Gregory, Jahmar Ortiz, Erica Steinhagen, and Sylvie Yntema. These four mysteriously connected characters guide one another through the obstacles large and small that must be overcome in order to get through an ordinary day.
