Bishop, CA (July 15, 2021) - Luciani’s Absolute Theater “BECOMING A ROSE: An Artist's Survival Guide According to Jean Genet”, makes its world premiere as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2021. This specifically devised for a livestream platform solo show, will run for seven livestream performances from Bishop, California, August 8th - 26th, 2021.
Bizarre sexual fantasies, dreams and illusions, the inversion of traditional moral values and transcendence through evil. A masks-off masquerade of the incantatory rituals of the theater. A liberally interpolated retrospective of yours-truly and France’s “Enfant Terrible”: Jean Genet.
Long before I knew of Jean Genet or found solace in his work, incubi and other oneiric provocateurs, seduced me in my sleep and disenthralled from my unconscious characters so beautiful they could only exist within the sacred walls of the theater.
My first declared creative communion with Genet came with the production of Charlotte; an award-winning poetic short film inspired by "The Maids" and my latest: a short run of "Deathwatch" at the Exit Theatre in San Francisco.
Becoming A Rose is a guide for redemption; a dramatized confession; a confirmation of my sacred creative union with Jean Genet - a story of resurrection through art and sexuality.
“BECOMING A ROSE" is the first Luciani's Absolute Theater production devised specifically for a livestream platform. The production of this play represents both a challenge to stay true to the Absolute Theater's Sensory-Somatic language and; an opportunity to explore and create using the tools unique to this -perhaps- new theatrical language. Guido Luciani is a sensory-somatic artist, an image-maker, a photographer and the deviser of the Absolute Theater Language and the Luciani’s Resonance Technique for the performing arts.
