#FringeFemmes Check-Ins: Strange Beings

by Jennifer Ashe

Quick peeks at #HFF26’s “Women on the Fringe” by Fringe Femmes who are behind the scenes this year. Click Here for all Check-Ins

WHO: Nicole Knudsen

WHAT: Strange Beings

WHERE:  The Broadwater (Black Box), 6322 Santa Monica Blvd

WHY: Nicole Knudsen does a masterful job as writer/director as she asks us to explore what it means to be human. Two space travelers facing impending disaster finally find their voices to declare responsibility in their painful relationship from years earlier. Little do they know their shared pain could save or destroy mankind.

The direction creates urgency, intimacy and in true Fringe fashion, PVC pipe and mimed control panels work to make the audience believe these two are trapped in space with only minutes to live. Victoria Gluchoski and Joshua Verges are wonderful as they take us through the nuances of love, pain, fear that comes with giving yourself to another person. Trying to find understanding, forgiveness or simply closure for a life that might have been. How many ways can we hurt one another? Love one another? See for yourself.
