Experimental Bitch Presents
New Nostalgias Workshop & Staged Reading
Directed by Tatiana Baccari
Set in Forks, Washington during the height of the Twilight craze in 2012, New Nostalgias moves through the day with Lara: a Quillyute diner waitress, Serena: a lonely fridge fixer who thinks she’s in a film noir, and a genderless Blockbuster Employee who also happens to be a vampire. An interactive play that utilizes music, projection, and sensory stimulation of memory, New Nostalgias explores the complexity of memory tied to media and asks whether man and nature will always be at odds.
