HIGHLAND LAKE, NY (September 2, 2012) – NACL is pleased to present the Margolis Brown ADAPTORS Acting Company in a performance of “Pulling Strings.”

Performances will take place at NACL Theatre on Saturday, September 8 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, September 9 at 4:00 p.m.

Conceived and Directed by Kari Margolis, “Pulling Strings” is a visceral human puppet theatre where the actor’s every breath, shift of weight, gesture and emotion are precisely sculpted. Built oniconographic storybook imagery; cultures, language and time periods collide head on creating unexpected alliances and a world that exists out of time and place. These moments of unforeseen and  seemingly impossible relationships expose the tenuous thread that connects all humanity. “Pulling Strings” plays on our notions of self, stereotypes and our desire to mold each other into our vision of perfection – often at the cost of leaving our humanity behind.  The ensemble of Jonathan Beller, Helen Buron, Jarod Hanson, Jalyn Knobloch, Tania Liberata and Gregory G. Schott, has been researching, skill-set building, creating and rehearsing “Pulling Strings” for two years. Soundscore by Tony Brown.

This performance is part of NACL’s Deep Space Performance Residency, supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and New York State Council on the Arts.

Reception with artists to follow show on Sunday, September 9. Tickets are $15 – $25 on a sliding scale. Reservations can be made at 845-557-0694 or e-mail: info@nacl.org
