- Shows to see in Manhattan -
"CHARLIE VICTOR ROMEO"
"Go. See. This. Show. CVR is haunting and one of the best works I've seen rise up out of NYC in the last five years. This is an exceptional show and if you love how theater is made, if you love theater and if you want to see something before it runs for ten years in an off-broadway theater farther up the island, this is the show to see."
- Robert Elmes Director, Galapagos Art Space
Oct 4 - 20 2012
At the wondorous and vision-built
............3 Legged Dog
80 Greenwich Street (South of Rector)
Tickets are $18.

CHARLIE VICTOR ROMEO (CVR) is a live performance documentary derived entirely from the "Black Box" transcripts of six major airline emergencies. Allowing the audience into the tension-filled cockpits of actual flights in distress, CVR is a fascinating portrait of the psychology of crisis and a testament to the ability to live until the last second. What is going on behind the door in the front of the airplane? Who are these people to whom we trust our lives? What do they really do when things go horribly wrong?

"[R]aw slices of real life - and death - transformed into the highest possible drama . . . holds you in a hammerlock for 90 unforgettable minutes. It's the most frightening show I've ever seen. "
- Wall Street Journal
"No show in town can match its sheer intensity or hermetic artistic perfection."
- Time Out NY

Venue:
The French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF)
Le Skyroom

Hear about March’s personal journey immediately following the session when Lacoste and March discuss the experience together.
“With this singular proposition, Joris Lacoste has invented a new form of spectacle… Being half-asleep is no longer a lethargic state, but the very condition for perception and creation.” —Premiere (France)
