When Archetypes Meet

Linus Gelber

From inside their respective animal totems, Rebecca Hart and Robert Saietta face off in the course of Struck, the new play they co-wrote, in performance at the downtown theatre venue H.E.R.E.

It would take a lot of words to explain why Rebecca, as singer Beth Prosser, is dressed in her deery God-Helmet, and why Bob, as her adopted brother Leon, wears his Lightning Lion hat; even more to cover why they harbor the feelings they do. Plus, it would sort of ruin everything. So I won't try.

This photo is willfully grainy; even at ISO 1600 the camera could barely see the moment, and it's a lot more indistinct than I'd like. Shooting plays in performance, especially in small and darkish rooms, is an inexact science; I hope there's enough here to keep the eye interested.
