Synopsis
Drama.
NIGHT is made of four plays Bells, Hieroglyphics of the Night, Fire and Night written and performed 1994-1997.
"Gunderson's plays take language to a breaking point, and then reassemble it in ways that are both interpretive and generative"--Johannah Rodgers.
"Gunderson's radical approach is to turn the usual relation between subject and object inside out.
Using a collage of fragments taken from her memory, she hypnotizes us into a very personal, very musical world until we become an intimate part of it.
There is no need for the technique of 'stream of consciousness' in this writing, which stands as a bold co-option of the reader's mind"--Bruce Benderson.
