Dealing with the motion picture industry, I wanted to create a piece that asks questions about celebrity - what celebrity is and who are these people that we worship? And who are the people who tell us to worship these people?

Realism - It can become very stagnant and boring. I wanted to try something different - something that is so overtly emotional and passionate and expressionistic that it's a challenge. It's a challenge to convey characters that their internal lives bleed out onto the stage. Show less «
