SUMMARY:Performance:THE LONG FALL
DESCRIPTION:*You are falling\, but you never land.*\n\nTHE LONG FALL imagines a world suspended in contradiction – a space of constant motion where characters shift form\, time loops without resolution\, and realities collide. Inspired by the existential absurdity of being alive\, the failures of assigned roles\, and the blurred boundaries between play and performance\, the work explores the combustible territory between childhood imagination\, adult consequence\, and theatrical illusion.\n\nWhat does it mean when children play at war\, or love\, or death – enacting dramas they barely understand? And what happens when those same dramas become real\, lived\, or staged? Is the stage any less real than the battlefield\, the bedroom\, or the family dinner table? THE LONG FALL lives in this surreal overlap\, where innocence and impact are tangled\, where performance is both survival and surrender.\n\nSet against an original electronic score by Marshall Chadbourne\, the myth of the American mission – of family\, of purpose\, of safety – fractures. No promise can truly be kept. No victory comes without shadow. And still\, we try. We fail. We try again. Our lives tumble forward in the chaotic current of time\, and even as we fall through space\, we brazenly and optimistically reach for one another. These exquisite moments of connection\, caught between descent and delay\, are the flashes of meaning against all odds.\n\nMy process begins with the body. Behavior that rises into high physicality becomes a portal into the surreal\, emotional\, and mythic. The pressure between bodies becomes a kind of truth-teller. The audience is present – not just as observers\, but as witnesses\, co-dreamers\, and sometimes accomplices.\n\nCreation is collaborative\, volatile\, and alive. I bring movement\, text\, images\, themes\, and tasks\; the ensemble brings their interpretations – wild\, grounded\, broken\, ecstatic. We construct a world from fragments and contradictions. A world that drifts between war-torn realities and absurd dream-states. Where the nuclear family is both icon and ruin. Where love is earnest and unspeakable. Where we fail beautifully\, collapsing forward\, haunted and held.\n\nTHE LONG FALL does not seek to tell a linear story\, but to inhabit a state – a falling\, looping\, breaking\, trying. It is a meditation on fragile persistence\, on the way human beings continue inside impossible conditions. How even when the promise has been broken\, the mission has failed\, the family has splintered\, we keep playing. Over and over\, bending time into childlike loops: Are we there yet?\n\nCAST & COLLABORATORS\nConcept and Direction: Shannon Gillen\nChoreography: Jason Cianciulli and Shannon Gillen\, in collaboration with the performers\nChoreographic Assistant: Katherine Kiessling\nPerformance: Jason Cianciulli\, Tzveta Kassabova\, Katherine Kiessling\, and Samy Navarez\nGuest Performance: Ruby Clay\, Audrey De Guia\, Emerson Forbes\, Leah Kropp\, Rachel McNaughton\, Ava Menzel\, Melisa Orduna\, Olga Rabetskaya\, Jessica Serres\, Caitlyn Wade\, Angelica White\nSound Score: Marshall Chadbourne with voice over by Sasha Lipinski\nLighting Design: Jess Fialko\nSet Design: Jungah Han\nOriginal Text: Shannon Gillen with excerpts from Beckett's 'Happy Days'\nBackstage Operations Manager: Tiff Crutchfield
