The Cabinet

Shot by Alexander Rea on a Panasonic DVX-100. Two takes. Each take a complete run of the show. First run using audio from the the house board run into the two XLR inputs and the camera mobile shooting close-ups. The second take the camera was fixed wide with two Shure 57 microphones running directly into the camera to capture the room. One microphone on either side of the stage. Edited using Final Cut Pro.

Run of the show was March 3 – July 3, 2005

Location: The Viaduct Theater through May 8; moved to Redmoon Central for extension through July 3, 2005

A spectacle in miniature, The Cabinet sets the story of the murderous Dr. Caligari and his somnambulist slave Cesare in an off-kilter world of puppetry and intricate machinery. Inspired by the 1919 German Expressionist silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The Cabinet creates a wild, abstracted “cabinet of curiosities” in which five puppeteers manipulate and maneuver the characters and objects much as Caligari controls Cesare’s plight.
