A new play by Gregory S. Moss
Produced by AntiMatter Collective
A black mass staged in a 20,000 sq. ft. warehouse, based on Dr. Faustus.
Performed at Magic Futurebox in Brooklyn, NY in 2012.
“Please stand within the confines of the pentagram at all times—it is there for your protection.”
A station play that took place in circles of chalk at the five points of a gigantic pentagram containing the audience.
The warehouse was so large that actors could walk away from the audience and vanish into darkness. We were able to create standing audio waves so the sound design would shift as you moved through the space.
Flavorpill Editor’s Pick
“[sixsixsix,] a wickedly cunning take on Faust, crackle[s] with energy, spark, and wit. Given that you’re essentially in an abandoned warehouse, the “anything could happen” atmosphere amplifies this show into absolutely must-see terriftory. We’ll leave it there; to say anything else would be to spoil the brilliant fever-dream you’re in for.”
“Staged in what seems to be an abandoned warehouse way off the beaten path in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park, this frightening and fascinating experience will make you feel like you’ve been missing something even if you’re a regular devotee of downtown independent theater…
Director Dan Rogers’ staging is aggressive and clever… Rogers creates a terse atmosphere where anything from comedy to depravity may happen… I left wishing I had the chance to see more daring and thrilling theater such as this and I think you will too.”
