A Fund-raising Production of the Tony-Award-Nominated play

Rudy and Max, homosexuals in Nazi Berlin, unknowingly invite a person on the Nazi’s wanted list into their home. Guilty by association and also because they are homosexuals, the Gestapo hunts them down as ardently as Jews. En route to Dachau, Rudy is slain, and the horrified Max is befriended by Horst, who schools Max in the brutal realities of war. He and Horst form a strong, psychic bond, and although they cannot touch one another on fear of death, they become lovers through vivid, imaginative “lovemaking.” They rely on each other for companionship, affection, and simply to maintain their sanity.

Adventures of the Heart*

The summer interns of 13th Street Repertory Theatre have created a pantomime performance piece inspired by the clowning techniques of French actor and miming instructor, Jacques Lecoq (1921-1999). This unique, inspiring pantomime follows the peculiar tangles of romance we all endure.

The technique that influenced this production was developed by a Frenchman named Jacques Lecoq, the founder of L'École Internationale de Théâtre in Paris. The school’s program lasts two years and the students learn every aspect of miming during which all elements of life are rediscovered.

Conceived, directed and produced by the THIRTEENTH STREET REPERTORY COMPANY 2007 Summer Interns.
