Filmmaker Darrin Martin in Attendance

For once we encourage you to bring your cell phones to a screening so that you can participate in an evening of new video performance as well as solo and collaborative video works from Darrin Martin.  Failed utopias, technologic euphoria, roll-playing workshops, hearing loss, the nature of sound, and other actualities often inaccessible to the naked eye are playfully addressed in this presentation of by Darrin Martin. Fantasty and delusion through a language of disjoined architectural ruins and sculptural remains fuse with his current research into unbiquitous technologies in a premiere of the video-performance Fragments.  A screening of his most recent solo works and collaborations with Torsten Zenus Burns, an experimental video artist, will precede the video performance.

Darrin Martin is a Bay Area artist whose works loosely examine how technologies are used in an attempt to measure and augment our daily perceptions. Martin’s collaborations with Torsten Zenus Burns build diverse speculative fictions around re-imagined educational paradigms.  Martin has toured his work nationally and internationally.  He occassionally curates screenings and teaches video and media arts at UC Davis.

Wrtitten by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb

The Catastrophic Theatre is pleased to announce the return of Hunter Gatherers, the hit comedy that sold out Stages last season and won the first ever “Best Public Dick” award from the Houston Press.

The Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award winner finds Pam and Richard hosting their best friends, Wendy and Tom, for an annual get-together. An animal sacrifice kicks off the evening, followed by a little more sex, violence, deception, wrestling and dancing than at previous parties.  The line between civilized and primal man will be blurred, and not everyone will survive long enough to enjoy the brownies for dessert. Last year’s production had audiences crying with laughter. But don’t take our word for it: check out these killer reviews…

“A night filled with evil laughter…a stunning production led by a fabulous foursome of a cast…outrageously funny…laugh til your face hurts…this is not family-friendly theatre but thanks to this terrific cast and dead-on direction, it’s the funniest grown up play anyone’s put on this season.”-Lee Williams, Houston Press

“The Catastrophic Theatre has mounted a vivid Houston premiere ofHunter Gatherers with a strong cast that makes the most of it’s biting black comedy and outrageously extreme action…Hunter Gatherers strips away the veneer of civilized behavior to reveal primer urges and and unleash the best within. (And if that doesn’t start a stampede at the box office, what will?)-Everett Evans, Houston Chronicle

“It’s cerebral, it’s visceral, it’s hysterically funny. I don’t mean that in a funny stuff, traditional-theater sense–I mean really funny and full of food for thought…An unusually intense and entertaining evening at the theater.”-Alex Gilbert, 29-95.com
