Blood, water, puppets, video, toenails, mounting lyrical tirades...what else do you want from a fringe show? Hewing to San Francisco-based Dark Porch Theatre's experimental style and inspired by JMR Lenz's overlooked 1774 Sturm und Drang German classic, TUTOR explores the idea of the exclave - a detached part of a whole, such as a province of a country that's physically separated from the motherland--as a way of addressing contemporary experiences of cultural isolation and connection. How are we part of the places, groups, and times with which we identify? Are we components of cultures, nations, things we cannot touch? Written and directed by Martin Schwartz, TUTOR: enter the exclave has a simple plot: A young, eager-to-please fop (Shakespeare's R&J) becomes tutor to a rural, aristocratic family with a lovesick daughter and a wild son. But the textures quickly become more complex. As the tutor frantically navigates his new surroundings, he comes to realize a more substantial, more troubling problem with it all: the family appears to live - literally - in the past. Developed with a four-member ensemble of performers, veteran Phoenix actor Brandon Wiley (SHAKESPEARE'S R&J), Ryan Hayes, Meg Hurtado, and Dark Porch co-founder Margery Fairchild, TUTOR employs composed texts, improvisation, an original electroacoustic musical score, and video projection. The set, like the overall tone of the piece, is sparse, moody, and atmospheric, blasted with wild gusts of humor.
