With Shut
Eye, Pig Iron teamed up with legendary American director Joseph Chaikin,
founder of the Open Theater, to create an intriguing puzzle of tightly
choreographed vignettes, songs, and dances.
A newlywed couple falls asleep at the dinner table; an insomniac finds
herself trapped in a Gilbert and Sullivan musical; a woman visits her brother
in the coma ward only to find him absorbed in a business meeting. Poetic and absurd,
Shut Eye counterpoints daring physical feats and ecstatic songs
with intimate, small-scale revelations.
Directed by Dan Rothenberg and Joseph Chaikin
