Dukhovny’s experimental work is inspired by life-size scenography and its multiple stage process of modeling. She defines her tiny-stage plays as a “live paper animation performed in a vertical 2D scenic space, where six-inch paper figures are wading through the metaphorical landscapes.” She creates a dramatic visual narrative incorporating creative writing, object-based performance, physical theater, experimental puppetry, video and original music. Dukhovny, an American artist living in Long Beach, centers on the Model Theater medium and contemporary interpretation of traditional paper/toy theater, popular in 19th-century Europe. Assistant director is Kelli Coleman Moor, and the stage manager is Anna Warren. Scenography and costumes are by Blagoj Micevski, with lighting design by Danielle Draper. Featured are Irwin Appel, Jim Connelly, Cierra Denning, Brian Harwell, James McCarthy, Vardan Mkrthchyan, Nina Sallinen, Matt Tavianini and Mitchell Thomas. “Theatre: Now”: In Chekhov, the heart aches, the dreams fade, but there’s vodka. Here is a breakdown of “Theatre and Memory: Now and Then.” The performances are preceded by and followed by a curated display of the theater art pieces crafted by designer Yulya Dukhovny of Lit Moon Worlds’ exploration of “Uncle Vanya,” “Three Sisters” and “Ivanov.”
