CRUX
by Antero Alli -- appearing in Person
Enjoy a film experience somewhere between Marat Sade and a cool drink of fresh water -- screamingly objective and deeply penetrating. In the summer of 1999 in Berkeley seven individuals underwent an intense para-theatre process to encounter the crux of what they were living for. Their stories are narrated through interviews and excerpts from their private ritual journals. What unfolds is a series of confessions and confrontations with what it means to be crucified to the cross of one's own existence, to wake up to that reality and learn to live with it. Antero's pointed questions expose essential qualities that define each character, allowing the camera to record moments of intimate honesty. We are given tantalizing glimpses into the results this ritual exploration has on each participant. This is not a film about Christianity but a para-theatrical group experiment aimed to expose and embody the universal crucifixion archetype.
Wheelchair accessible around the corner at 411 28th Street
