Mabou Mines' Lear '87 Archive (Condensed)

20016 h

Jill Godmilow's six-hour archive of The Mabou Mines ensemble's controversial 1990, gender-reversed production of William Shakespeare's King Lear documents the first two-week workshop on the play at the Theatrical Outfit in Atlanta. Director Lee Breuer and the cast are seen working on transposing the play to 1950's America in this intimate record of a master class in avant-garde performance work. Taken from over 100 hours of material, this condensed archive comes with a 32-page handbook with guides for tracking the production.
