Unburthen(To My Soul's Delight!) & If Water Were Present It Would Be Called Drowning Theatre Revelation is proud to present "2 by Sinner: Unburthen (To My Soul's Delight!) & If Water Were Present It Would Be Called Drowning" as part of the 11th annual New York International Fringe Festival - Fringe NYC. It is Theatre Revelation's first time performing in New York, and the world premiere of both works being performed together. A two-actor diptych that is a modern take on Adam and Eve, trapped in various forms of a deteriorating Garden of Eden. First presented as Brother and Sister (after all, Eve was "created" from Adam's rib; doesn't that make them related?) in stylized white face, part gothic kabuki, part slapstick vaudeville, living in their own isolated apocalyptic playground, the siblings play, bicker, sing and dance as frantically as they can to ward off their own psychological endgame. The second piece explores the couple as Husband and Wife, with the wife's subconcious attempts to liberate herself from the classic "Doll's House" Syndrome. She short circuits before the audience while delivering a monologue, sharing her fantastical sexual yearnings and interior life while disconcerting voice-overs and music cues bombard her as her husband snores. The show is written and directed by Los Angeles native John Sinner, who is the producing artistic director of Theatre Revelation. Sinner is a gay artist living with multiple sclerosis, who has had work performed at REDCAT at Disney Hall, amongst others. Both works star Bay area native Betsy Moore and John Sinner, in the modern Eve and Adam roles. Matt Richter, the former tech director at Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica is the lighting and sound designer.
