A Simple Art

A full-length true crime documentary play created by Alex Vlahov Written and performed by Alex Vlahov, Nessa Norich, Kyra Sims

Based on Raymond Chandler’s 1944 essay, A Simple Art is a live true-crime documentary looking at the 2014 New Year’s Eve murder of Vlahov’s high-school priest, Father Eric Freed. By syncing up interviews taken from Humboldt County with storytelling, dance, onstage analog devices, and repetitive tasks, the cast of NY Neo-Futurists ensemble members  scrutinize the human need for narrative through the lens of noir. This new play “investigates” the region’s history, the marijuana industry, the Catholic Church, police procedure, and the crime itself, all in an attempt to explore why (and how) we construct stories from the chaos of reality. Do we embrace the mystery of life or try to solve it?

WHEN: June 2 -11 (PREVIEW) June 1 @ 7pm WHERE: Roy Arias 777 Theatre 777 8th Avenue NYC (between 47th & 48th Street)

TICKETS: $20 General Admission $16 Students w/ valid ID Advanced tickets get you priority access and a guaranteed seat.

I know it's gorgeous out, and #ASimpleArt rehearsal ended an hour early, but sunshine doesn't make shedding for the TFO Winds concert this summer any less necessary 💪🏾📯 #ampracticing #ottothefrenchhorn #frenchhorn (at Spaceworks Williamsburgh Library)

Hey, beautiful nerds, guess what. After serving on two different @nyneofuturists main stage shows as a sound designer and a general manager, I actually get to be on stage now! Our next main stage show, opening in June, is called A Simple Art. Written by @alexvlahov, with co-contributors and performers @moshakeat and myself, it is a live true-crime documentary looking at the 2014 murder of a California priest whom one of us involved personally knew. I'm very excited to sink my teeth into this, and I hope you're excited to come see it! Tickets are on sale now at nynf.org!! . . . #hereasweare #nynf #asimpleart #investigativetheatre #murder (at 777 Theatre)
