| The New York Theater Festival presents SCISSORS by Cornelius Boeder Directed and produced by Luísa Galatti Starring Hannah Abdoh, Cornelius Boeder and Aedan Jayce Assistant Directed by Julia Wosiak November 21 @ 6:15 PM - Monday November 26 @ 12 PM - Saturday November 27 @ 3:30 PM - Sunday Teatro Latea 107 Suffolk St, New York, NY "Extremely dark but also optimistic." "It left me with so many different questions." "Compelling in an honest way. "It’s one of those situations in which life just takes a different turn." "One of the greatest things you’ll see this year." Scissors is a story that oscillates between the desire to experience life to its fullest and to end it all. Casper is severely depressed when he meets Cleo, a girl who just might be his reason to stay alive. As her morbid curiosities become stronger, he must navigate between his morality and his need for her. Scissors is a mildly absurdist meditation on being alive versus merely surviving. Existential pseudo-deep whatever bullshit aside; in the end it's about death. And the romanticism, fear, absurdity and amusement that surrounds it. It's kind of like how you wake up right before you die in a dream. Age suitability: Recommended for audiences 16+. Duration of the show: 80 minutes.
