A TEN-SECOND PLAY IN BLACK AND WHITE at the Ohio Theater, Koltes New York Festival 2003
We investigate the ten seconds of a fatal encounter between two men and blow it up to one hour. We zoom in on specific actions (What happened in the dark? Who made the first move? Who died?), and study the close ups as forensic evidence (the hand on the arm, the look, the spit, the jackets on the floor).

New translation by Lenora Champagne. Director, Marion Schoevaert. Designed entirely by Anna Kiraly . The live music by Satoshi Takeishi . Choreographer Stanislas Kemper and actors Terrence Bae and Shaun O’Neil have pooled together their expertise in martial arts into this dance to the death.
