Learn more about the project here. A silent film sets the stage for a twist on the story of divided lovers. Mark and Aoife, a young engaged couple, struggle to come to terms with Mark's inheritance. Running a bed and breakfast on his family farm, they find themselves at odds after Mark's father dies and leaves him with a legacy that Aoife resists. As an original film is projected through a series of semi-transparent "walls," narrative forces are transformed into psychological forces at times when the characters are forced to confront critical choices, and the action of the story shifts from the screen to the stage. Performed by one actor, the two characters emerge from and return to the film, as expectations of cinematic naturalism are subverted by the protagonist's fracture of emotion, history, and incident. With an orchestral score by Erin Gee, Across the Road was developed in part during Colin Gee's Whitney Live residency at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and through a series of residencies at Daghdha Dance Company in Limerick, Ireland.
