Jesus Figueroa, @Thisfunktional of ThisFunktional.com, talks with Director Jessica Hanley about the unique storytelling of ONE REHEARSES, THE OTHER DOESN’T.
In One Rehearses, the Other Doesn’t Marjorie Annapav plays herself as she immerses in improvisational work and on-stage rehearsals with a fictionalized performance teacher.
Drawing from her personal history, she enacts scenes based on the murder of her boyfriend by the mob and her time as a sex worker in 1970s New York. In an effort to discover a version of her life that can play to audiences, Marjorie will probe overlooked behaviors, desires, selves.
A peripheral figure in American Surrealism, Annapav is noted for her relationship with artist William Copley, who once claimed he sold his art collection in order to pay her to marry him.
In One Rehearses, the Other Doesn’t, gender, power, economic exchange, and the artifice of storytelling shape a drama of rehearsal and reinvention.
