'Like the love child of Chinua Achebe and Victor LaValle.'-Tayari Jones,Silver Sparrow
After reading an article in New York Magazine about a high-end Manhattan art dealer specializing in the sale of divine effigies, a rakish Nigerian emigre cabdriver-who has had no end of frustrations while living in New York City-plots to resolve his gambling debts and other woes by stealing the god of war from his home village in Nigeria. At once a post-colonial novel reminiscent of Rushdie and Achebe's early works-with strong themes concerning race and the clash of culture and religion-Foreign Gods, Inc. yet also invokes the existential crisis of Dostoevsky's devilish morality tales.

Building upon his 2010 production, TOM RYAN THINKS HE'S JAMES MASON STARRING IN A MOVIE BY NICHOLAS RAY…Daniel Fish reunites with actors Christina Rouner and Thomas Jay Ryan on a new work that fuses theater, cinema, and environmental installation. ETERNAL is Fish's most conceptually ambitious production to date. In August, Fish assembled a film crew to shoot Ryan and Rouner performing the final scene of the 2004 film ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND in a continuous loop for two hours - the only constraint: that they must keep going, no matter what happens. The unedited two channel video of their performance will be projected on screens that face each other from across the space. The audience sits between the lovers.
