One of the "Best Bets of the Week!"
by Gambit Weekly New Orleans (12/12/00)
N2O was an original ensemble-developed piece, exploring the effects of utter weightlessness. It featured resident artists Skye Jordan, Sara Schaefer, and Amy Woodruff, and Nelson Gonzalez. N2O used experimental performance to explore the sensations behind chemical alteration of the mind and body. The show seamlessly connected interpretive movement, poetry, scientific data, music, and more to examine those sensations and discover what's behind feeling "high," whether it be from substance use, adrenaline, or mere euphoria. N2O featured original slide segments by Chris Genua.
N2O was performed December 13-15, 2000. The shows took place Wednesday and Thursday nights at midnight, and Friday night at 1am, at Mystic Cafe, 3244 Magazine Street, New Orleans, Louisiana. Tickets were $6.00.
The Mystic Performance Series supplemented Theatre Louisiane's mainstage projects with a series of experimental offerings that were very simplistic and basic in nature, and allowed the ensemble to workshop performance material and raise funds, both of which helped to strengthen the company.
