[NEohioPAL] "Rumstick Road" film at Cleveland Museum of Art

[John Ewing via NEohioPAL]

A new film reconstruction of a 1977 Wooster Group production starring Spalding Gray is coming to the Cleveland Museum of Art at 7 pm on Friday, October 17.


The Wooster Group's Rumstick Road

Friday, October 17, 7:00. Directed by Elizabeth LeCompte and Ken Kobland. With Spalding Gray. The Wooster Group's legendary 1977 experimental theatre production, in which co-writer Spalding Gray tried to make sense of his mother's depression and suicide, is reconstructed in this new video that incorporates U-Matic video, Super-8 movies, reel-to-reel audio tapes, photos, and slides from the original groundbreaking show. The reimagining is haunted by Gray's own death in 2004 (a presumed suicide). "This is not merely a document of something extraordinary. It is something extraordinary all on its own." -Village Voice. Cleveland premiere. Special thanks to Clay Hapaz.

USA, 2013, color, DVD, 75 min.

Tickets ($9; CMA members, seniors 65 & over, and students $7) are available in advance at www.clevelandart.org/film<http://www.clevelandart.org/film>.

Thanks,
John
