Staged Reading | Powerful "Forms of Fire" Premieres at RCI

We are pleased to present the staged reading of "Forms of Fire", a powerful multimedia theater work in development, created by Andrei Codrescu Here, Lynnea Villanova, and Micah Ariel James.

"Forms of Fire" is a powerful, multimedia theater experience that intertwines the lives of three people—a scientist, a music teacher, and a dancer—each grappling with the long shadows of personal and collective trauma. Through a fusion of scientific exploration and artistic expression, the play delves into the fragile human psyche, asking how and whether we can truly rewire our minds to overcome the past. Set against the backdrop of experimental neuromodulation, the characters’ journeys are mirrored in kinetic sculptures that evolve as metaphors for their fractured identities and disparate quests for healing. With a chorus of dancers embodying their internal struggles, "Forms of Fire" offers a poignant meditation on memory, resilience, and the transformative power of connection.

This staged reading offers a first glimpse into the evolving piece, with immersive and staging elements prototyped in real time. The audience is not only witness but participant in the experiment.

Seating is limited; RSVP required to reserve your place.
