KLECKSOGRAPHY 2019

June 22, 2019

“How A D.C. Light Tunnel Inspired A Dozen New Works Of Theater And Film” (A DCist Feature Article)

Rorschach Theatre returns to KLECKSOGRAPHY, an annual event that brings together six theatre companies and more than sixty artists (including six filmmakers) to make something unimaginable. Inspired by the ink-blot test for which Rorschach Theatre was named, all participating artists will be shown a single, distinctive piece of visual art.

On Saturday, June 22 this single image explodes into wildly different visions: twelve plays and six films will showcase the aesthetics of some of DC’s best small theatres, including Rorschach Theatre, Theater AllianceSolas NuaLongacre LeaFlying V Theatre, and We Happy Few as well as American University.

This project is sponsored in part by Destination DC
