Filament Theatre Co. Presents “second”

The Filament Theatre Co. presents the L.A. premiere of “second” in Echo Park on Wednesday, May 6 at 8:00 pm.

While “the worst snowstorm in history” rages, a mysterious man touches a woman, seemingly brings her back to life – then disappears. The mystery and media frenzy instigates three sets of New Yorkers to question their faith in radically different ways. “Second” is a choreography of seven actors and three cameras unfolding through separate, concurrent scenes staged in a private home in Echo Park. The audience will be divided amongst three rooms: as one scene plays out live in the room, the other two scenes are captured by live cameras and presented cinematically, allowing each audience a unique experience while still sharing the same story.

“second” takes place at Laveta Villa in Echo Park at 1367 Laveta Terrace

Cost is $20 general admission (all ages)

The show runs through May 29, every Thursday and Saturday, as well on Wednesday, May 19 and May 26.

Fliament Theatre is “A Los Angeles based performance ensemble working to create fresh contact with classic texts, new works, and emerging ideas. Our community spans beyond the boundaries of Theatre into all mediums of art that shape our cultural reality.”
