Suicide in B-Flat

At the PAN Theatre, August, 1997. 

Liminal’s first project was Sam Shepard’s Suicide in B-Flat during a hot Portland summer. Our staging put the play's two roguish detectives into a world of anomalous initiations and deviant experiments that became the ensemble’s rite-of-passage. The production incorporated live musicians, programmed slide projections and physical action. It also was our first dive into the dissolution of narrative structure mixed with a physical tension that characterizes much of Liminal’s work.
