Agesilaus Santander
A short performance by Jeff Stein | Music by Oren Ambarchi
This works starts with one of Walter Benjamin’s “Angels” and quickly finds its opposite in Milan Kundera’s Demon with its cackle of mocking laughter that deflates the pretensions of the angelic, punctuating its portentous world. What drives this demon to its sardonic fury is the extreme repleteness of human existence-its smug belief in its own solidity. In deflating a world, which calibrates value on a scrupulously nuanced scale, the demonic collapses these unique identities into eternal sameness of shit, and thus ironically ends up with pure identity.

The Raven Project
Merrigong Theatre Independent Producers Program presents
The Raven Project
Starting from Edgar Allen Poe’s poem The Raven and paralleling this with the work of Alfred Hitchcock’s films, in particular- The Birds, North by Northwest and Psycho, Jeff Stein looks at birds and planes as a sign of impending doom or simply as a messenger of something to come.
What message do they bring? What impending disaster do they speak to? What does Poe’s Raven mean by Nevermore? Why do crows and ravens have such a bad rep? If we watch all of the TV series Six Feet Under are we ok with death. Is death funny?
Jeff and Frank Mainoo will set up a parlor and will be taking guests and try to address these questions and many more. Part installation, part lecture, part video night.
An Alfred Hitchcock type character narrates a not altogether coherent story, in the way Hitchcock himself narrated the trailers for some of his films- irony combined with comedy into a narration of completely sinister stories.
