Thunderstruck

Jan. 1 - Dec. 31 2002

A brilliant translation of Daniel Danis' "Le Chant du dire-dire" by the OYR Ensemble.

At once sinister and hilariously funny, darkly ominous and positively hopeful.

When a bolt of lightning cleaves their house and kills their parents, three brothers and their near-comatose sister are left to fend for themselves, building a haunting, surreal vision of "family."
