Based on Raymond Chandler’s 1944 essay, our new play A SIMPLE ART IS
A LIVE TRUE-crime documentary looking at the 2014 murder of a
California priest whom one of the Neo-Futurists involved personally
knew. By syncing up interviews taken from Humboldt County with
storytelling, dance, onstage analog devices, and repetitive tasks,
three Neo-Futurists (Nessa Norich, Kyra Sims, & Alex Vlahov)
scrutinize the human need for narrative. This new play
“investigates” the region’s history, the marijuana industry, the
Catholic Church, police procedure, and the crime itself, all in an
attempt to explore why (and how) we construct stories from the chaos
of reality. If you are the private detective of your own life, are you
following the clues or simply building a narrative?
