April 9-12, 2008
All shows at 8PM

"Like a Movie I Saw Once concluded with yet another thought-provoking image: One of the cast’s beauties, Megan Mayer, slumped onto the floor near the front row. She then kicked her long, slender legs in the air and rested them against the stage. Her baby-blue halter dress slowly fell to her hips, revealing not only her impressive gams, but also a pair of leopard-print undies. The resulting image was uncannily similar to Hustler magazine’s infamous cover of a naked woman being fed into a meat grinder. I couldn’t help but wonder whether Van Wieren intended a statement on the more dehumanizing aspects of film- and performance-making, where body parts (usually female body parts) get chopped apart and displayed as if in Ed Gein’s basement."
