THE METHOD GUN
“The Rudes craft compelling theater… ‘The Method Gun’ packs more intensity and more poignancy… And the Rudes’ tweaks have made it much more intimate and immediate… And the final scene… emerges as one of the most polished, gorgeous, breathtaking and riveting moments on an Austin stage. To this critic, ‘The Method Gun’ still ranks as one of the best productions to grace the Austin stage.”
– Jeanne Claire van Ryzin, Austin-American Statesman 2009

tenebrismRude Mechs is crazy proud to present the work of Minneapolis-based theatre company Lamb Lays with Lion with their original performance, Tenebrism. Tenebrism is the first experiment in the Theatre of Disruption. Performed in an intentionally fragile atmosphere, Lamb Lays with Lion blurs the line of performance and reality by sharing its failure with the audience. Tenebrism is inspired by the religious imagery of Renaissance painter Caravaggio, Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Temptation of Christ,” and legendary rock star Ian Curtis and his iconic post-punk band, Joy Division.
The host, Jeremey, promises the audience a show about Jesus, Joy Division, and Caravaggio. However, as Tenebrism unfolds, it becomes clear that the real performance is in witnessing just how hard it is for Jeremey and his assistant, Jayne, to get the show to “go on” at all. Tenebrism is the result of Lamb Lays with Lion’s “Theatre of Disruption” approach to creating ensemble performance. Tenebrism is performed by Lamb Lays with Lion founding-members, Jeremey Catterton and Jayne Deis. Tenebrism promises to be an unforgettable evening of entertainment.
