Created by the founders of New Theater Hollywood, this new play traces what happens when a collective dream dissolves. Relying on the tension between supposed reality and self-imposed narrative, the performance follows a film editor who is hired to take over the project of a recently deceased documentary filmmaker. Unsure of the original premise of the documentary, the editor navigates hours of video interviews, rants, and confessions, to find meaning amidst a dramatic collective of once-united characters. This performance marks the latest chapter from the narrative world of Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff’s episodic film THEATER that weaves a fictional narrative with documentary rehearsal and backstage footage from plays presented at their black box performance space in Hollywood. THE END IS NEW engages with theater, labor, and memory as it reflects on the desire to rewrite the past in the name of the future.
