Free entry; doors at 6:30pm, screenings at 7pm

internal monologues’ is a screening event organized by Hea-Mi Kim that draws themes from Samuel Beckett’s seminal work, Not I. Beckett uses unconventional storytelling and internal dialogue to tell a story of a woman who has suffered trauma. The older woman discusses four distinguishable violent events from her life after being mute since she was a child. Inspired by Beckett’s fast-paced monologue, which shifts between discernible and indiscernible language, this program will include work by Adrian Abela, Sophia Berman, Véra (V) Haddad, Gerald Martindill, and Sam Richardson. Similar to Beckett, these artists also use language, movement, and closeup shots of the body to tell a story. 

The order of the program will be Not I (Samuel Beckett), Grapefruit Blvd. (Gerald Martindill), -logues (Sophia Berman), the feeling when (Véra (V) Haddad), 13 Seconds (Sam Richardson), and SOFT TONGUE | HARD TEETH (Adrian Abela).
