EXHIBIT A blends historical fact with speculative fiction to explore the convergence of radical visionaries who populated the hills of Silverlake in the 1950s. Archival letters, manifestos and journal entries delve into the lives of landmark figures, such as gay rights pioneer, Harry Hay and architect John Lautner. Using model replicas and hand made video effects to generate a moody, disorienting vision, performers—both human and puppet—navigate profound shifts in consciousness.
Cast: Baxley Andresen, Hilario Saavedra, Moira MacDonald, Whitney Rodriguez, Stephen Schilling and Mark Simon.
