About this Event
STEPS Theatre & Art Against Humanity Present:
FLAWED CHOIR BY SLAVA STEPNOV**
The play is performed in English and runs for 2 hours, including a brief intermission
Flawed Choir is a humorous and introspective play about the interwoven lives of four expatriate actors, each navigating the complexities of immigrant identity, artistic integrity, and personal struggles in contemporary New York.
Synopsis: set in a humble yet chaotic radio studio on Halloween, the actors record advertisements while dealing with the recent death of their beloved but controversial director, Maestro. Tensions, aspirations, insecurities, and cultural conflicts surface, revealing deeper truths and vulnerabilities within their individual journeys. As the play unfolds, reality and performance mingle seamlessly, illuminating poignant themes of loneliness, nostalgia, cultural assimilation, and the pursuit of artistic authenticity.
The play Flawed Choir was selected for the Oxford Script Awards and the Berlin International Screenwriting Festival.
