...often sinister landscapes. He draws heavily on recollections of his childhood in Russia and the folk tales of that country. And yet viewing these prints one feels an uncanny sense of deja vu regardless of nationality--it is as if Chagall had painted what he could remember of a dream of his, and it is the kind we have all had occasionally. It is one of those dreams where birds are bigger than donkeys and people...
...America, as Shakespeare's testament to the belief that, starting with nothing, good people can create a whole new world. By diversifying the roles within the play and by adding lots of mime and dance, directors Laura Shiels and Rick Engelhart (who also directed A Mid-summer Night's Dream last year) hope to construct in this Adams/Quincy production of Tempest more than just another alternative to society's mistakes.

Stroszek is an aimless film about aimless people, society's losers who spend their lives groping for a promised dream that goes unfulfilled. Set in the slums of Berlin. Stroszek begins on a note of hope as the film's protagonist gains his release from a local mental institution. Played by a German actor going under the nom de theatre of Bruno S., the Stroszek character quickly becomes an awkward...
