Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

New York Times: "COMPUTERS are often used to depict futuristic landscapes on film. But it’s the past that software helps recreate in a particularly timeless type of performance: a stage production.
In “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea,” which will have its United States premiere at Performance Space 122 on Jan. 9, computer-assisted film and animation provide the scenic backdrop and supporting cast, of sorts, for live performers. In tales of luckless cats and mutinous gingerbread men, the performers interact with images on the screen, the filmed and live movements synchronized. When a woman mimes smoking a cigarette, her onstage lips blow on-screen smoke rings."
