Blood on a Cat’s Neck
By Rainer Werner Fassbinder,
Directed by David Pellegrini with choreography by Alycia Bright Holland
Fine Arts Instructional Center’s Proscenium Theater
October 12 – 14, 2022
Phoebe Zeitgeist has been sent to the earth from a distant star to write an eyewitness account of human democracy. But, although she has learned the words, she doesn’t understand the human language. So begins the first lines of Blood on a Cat’s Neck by filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the most significant director of postwar German cinema. Before his brief career in which he directed over forty films within the span of fifteen years, Fassbinder was active in theatre, developing experimental techniques which have come to be known as “Anti-Theater. This concept, however, is misleading, because in plays such as this, Fassbinder forged his unique and always entertaining and sometimes uproarious blend of Hollywood melodrama, social criticism, and avant-garde traditions.
“Blood on a Cat's Neck” will be presented in the Fine Arts Instructional Proscenium Theater from October 12 through October 15, 2023.
