EXTENDED THRU DEC 6!

GO!  -- L.A.  Weekly
"Chavez and Portillo's expansive "surround" set...offers a unique staging that, along with the accompaniment of live musicians...immerses the audience in the noir world...angular lighting, detailed costumes, well-integrated video, and installation of historical artifacts, which the audience is allowed to explore at intermission, all enhance the ambience as well."

“…it’s fun just to let the story and characters wash over you – you feel like you’re back in the LA of the 1920s to 1940s.”

A theatrical layering of live music, video, and interactive setting, BLEEDING THROUGH uncovers the narrative ghosts of L.A.’s Historic Angelino Heights District and the adjacent Downtown area—a neighborhood where more cinematic “murders” have occurred than anywhere else in the world. This noir-influenced theaterwork, adapted from Norman Klein’s highly praised novella, explores the shaping of a city’s memory by commonplace experiences, chronicled history and cinematic influences.

Co-written & co-directed by Theresa Chavez & Rose Portillo
Adapted from Norman Klein’s novella
