Nobody Try To Be A Hero (2005)

created by Ursula Eagly in collaboration with the performers

starring Rebecca Davis, Ursula Eagly, Abby Harris, and Jessica Morgan

Audience/performer = hostage/captor.  Cold spaghetti “guts” and peeled grape “eyeballs.”  Interrogation.  The Moscow Theater Hostage Crisis.  Premiered shortly after the Abu Ghraib scandal.  Audience screams. 

(25 minutes)

This piece was developed from a short work commissioned by the Howl Festival and through a work-in-progress residency at The Chocolate Factory.
