in the lounge THE HOLLYWOOD ADRIANA, A Cautionary Tale of Damaged Good Tadeusz von Moltke
About This Show
The breakneck pace of THE HOLLYWOOD ADRIANA is driven by the collision of prose, screenplay, poetry, and opera libretto. In this tragic-comic modern-day love child of Reader’s Theatre and Medieval morality plays, Rupert’s increasingly bizarre erotic encounters telescope time and place into a hallucinogenic continuum of NOW. Inspired by the murder of silent movie icon Ramon Novarro, the worlds of film, ballet, and opera; Sarah Bernhardt, Maya Plisetskaya, Hector Berlioz; hustlers, drag queens, athletes, and altar boys, all converge in a surreal universe of obsession, love, innocence lost, murder, suicide, and catharsis.
about the artist
A passionate theatre practitioner, Tadeusz von Moltke’s work as artist/teacher/activist defies easy categorization: on screen in DJ Khaled/Jay Z/Future’s rap video I Got the Keys; on classical stage in NYC for the American premiere of Thea Musgrave’s epic choral drama The Voices of Our Ancestors; on primetime TV co-starring in The Blacklist (NBC) and MTV’s Venus Concert; for Samsung/Punchdrunk’s virtual reality movie creating the title role in The Man From the Shadows. His solo video for Radiator Arts enhances Tamas Veszi’s 20-panel installation Dark Matter, a multimedia collaboration of protest art. Representation: Katherine Olsen, Encompass Arts.
