The SoHo-based experimental theater company WaxFactory is celebrating the completion of its eleventh year with a series of programs that look back at the company’s founding, in 1998, as well as ahead toward its future. The “Year 11 Retrospective” began in January with the presentation of BLIND.NESS (LOVE IS A FOUR-LETTER WORD) as part of P.S. 122’s COIL festival and continues this week with WaxFactory’s new version of QUARTET v4.0, based on Heiner Müller’s controversial adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’s 1782 novel LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES. Part of the New York Public Library’s Performing Revolution in Central and Eastern Europe, the multimedia production, which uses surveillance cameras, live video capture, and real-time editing and processing, was conceived and directed by Ivan Talijancic and stars Erika Latta and Todd Thomas Peters. The celebration concludes next month with the American premiere of the company’s DELIRIUM 27, directed by Latta and running March 24-28 at Abrons Arts Center.
