HILL Performed by HARMONY STEMPEL BARUCH PERFORMING ARTS CENTER 55 Lexington Avenue, at 25th Street, New York March 27 - April 11 (see performances times to the left) See the HUMAN FRUIT BOWL artists gallery below. ABOUT HUMAN FRUIT BOWL: After winning the FringeNYC Overall Excellence Award and the Creative Award for Best Production at Prague Fringe Festival, HUMAN FRUIT BOWL makes the leap to Off-Broadway. Ever wonder what goes through the mind of a live nude model while she poses? Structured as a live fine art modelling session, HUMAN FRUIT BOWL attempts to answer that question while it delves into the mysterious death of Renee Monchaty, muse and model to legendary French painter Pierre Bonnard. Part story, part mystery, and part art history, it is a unique and compelling look at the complicated relationships between artists and their models. PRAISE FOR HUMAN FRUIT BOWL: "A brave, compelling performance... Human Fruit Bowl is a well-conceived, well-written, well-acted experience." ***** - Front Row Center "Sharp, funny and poignant... Harmony Stempel gives a fearless, finely nuanced performance as the Woman. Director Jessi D. Hill paces the evening expertly, letting each emotional beat unfold as gently and slowly (or sharply and quickly) as it needs to" - Theatre Online "A surprisingly engrossing production...Human Fruit Bowl rivets its audience" -- TheaterMania "Miraculous... the way the story unfolds through this fusion of one-person show and art class keeps us hooked." -- New York Theatre Review "This little play, written so cleverly and richly, performed with such artful panache, and directed with ease and subtlety by Jessi D. Hill, deserves to be seen by art lovers – and by that I mean lovers of the arts – everywhere." -- BlogCritics.org “Absolutely gripping… utterly compelling” – Expats, Czech Republic Harmony Stempel is the winner of the Excellence in Solo Performance Award from the 2013 FringeNYC Festival. |
