the last syllable
You are invited into a world where nothing is but what is not.
An Artist is alone in her room. Outside her window, it is dark. As the night wears on, she unpacks an ominous box, piecing together a reality from the fragments it contains…. 'the last syllable' is an experiential, online event that invites you into a world where nothing is but what is not. Five mysterious maps guide your journey through a theatrical landscape inspired by "Macbeth." Incorporating filmed scenes, poetry, art, and cartography, the last syllable is a unique and provocative exploration of Shakespeare’s great horror story. With Sam Breen, Luis Galindo, Lovelle Liquigan, Bukola Ogunmola, Kalean Ung, Sabra Williams. Directed & adapted by Melissa Chalsma By Melissa Chalsma & based on Macbeth by William Shakespeare Directed by Melissa Chalsma Cinematography by Dana Shihadah With poetry by Luis Galindo From the producers of the Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival. An annual summer long event that is decidedly Los Angeles: freewheeling, inclusive and always exuberant. “What this company does best is create a vision and fully realize it, from beginning to end. They take risks; they include their audience; and the result is an emotional connection between the actors and anyone watching that makes Shakespeare not just a concept but a shared experience. This is the way to tell a story.” – Ellen Dostal, Broadway World & Shakespeare in L.A.
