About Catgut Strung Violin Catgut Strung Violin features the talents of Tricklock Company members Kevin R. Elder and Alex Knight, and guest artist Charles Gamble. As directed by Tricklock Company Member Elsa Menendez, Catgut Strung Violin, a new play in development by Tricklock Company, combines elements of clown, physical comedy, and silence to create a surreal wartime story of a young man, Anton, and his violin. Drawing from popular literature and actual accounts of war, Catgut Strung Violin is a hilarious story of an unlikely hero’s journey through the trenches and foxholes of war. The follies of Anton and his ridiculous companions will have you laughing uncontrollably, even amidst the bloody warfare, starvation, and death. Join Tricklock in celebration of humanity’s greatest pastime. ...................................................................................................................................

About The Day and Night the Living Dead... In the early morning hours of July 24, 1957, an object from space crash landed in the deserts of Roswell, New Mexico. The meteor’s tale brought with it one of the strangest and least known occurrences in US History. In the 24 period that followed, a dark terror would settle over the sleepy town, and could have changed human history so drastically, that the US Government fought tirelessly to keep the events classified… until now… ...................................................................................................................................

About The Media Complex This year, for the first time in the Revolutions Festival, Tricklock Company is proud to present a staged reading from Patricia Crespin, a graduate student currently enrolled in UNM’s Dramatic Writing MFA Program. This unique opportunity for a student playwright to work with a professional theatre company while still in school is made possible by Tricklock’s role as the Theatre Company in Residency at UNM. Medea Complex is modern exploration of the classic Greek tragedy about a woman who murders her own children. Is it an act of spite, rage, or some complex and twisted form of maternal instinct? A finely crafted piece as well as one that explores new theatrical territory, the winning-script was selected through blind-reading jury and is presented by Tricklock Company. |
