The Brick Theater, Inc. Presents THE LITTLE CHAOS 4/21-4/30

The Brick Theater, Inc. presents THE LITTLE CHAOS based on the 1969 Rainer Werner Fassbinder film Love is Colder than Death

Thu-Sat at 8pm
April 21-April 30, 2011 & April 27 @ 7pm

"When I was twelve, I smashed a vase over my father's head and killed him. At sixteen, I was the leader of a gang. One day we killed a guy who was sitting on a bench with a girl. We pissed down on him from a hill. He came up and gave us a dressing down. So we went for him, and he just keeled over. You know, with brass knuckles. and then he was dead. Just kicked the bucket."

Based on the 1969 Rainer Werner Fassbinder film Love is Colder than Death, The Little Chaos is the story of "poor souls who didn't know what to do with themselves, who were simply set down, as they are, and who weren't given a chance" (as Fassbinder himself put it.)

Franz, Bruno and Johanna protect themselves against possible threats, growing syndicates and the police by forming a group of their own. Together they will fight boredom and conformance, and everything and everyone that comes in between...

Inspired by spaghetti westerns and Hollywood gangster films (in the vein of Raoul Walsh), the show depicts a Munich of chain-smokers, fat prostitutes and troubled youths.
