Bestselling author of Fight Club, Choke and Pygmy, Palahniuk serves up his latest confection in TELL-ALL. Marinated in the world of vintage Hollywood, TELL-ALL is a Sunset Boulevard-inflected homage to Old Hollywood when Bette Davis and Joan Crawford ruled the roost; a veritable Tourette's Syndrome of rat-tat-tat name-dropping, from the A-list to the Z-list; and a merciless send up of Lillian Hellman's habit of butchering the truth that will have Mary McCarthy cheering from the beyond.
Our Thelma Ritter-ish narrator is Hazie Coogan, who for decades has tended to the outsized needs of Katherine "Miss Kathie" Kenton - veteran of multiple marriages, career comebacks and cosmetic surgeries. But danger arrives with gentleman caller Webster Carlton Westward III, who worms his way into Miss Kathie's heart (and boudoir). Hazie discovers that this bounder has already written a celebrity tell-all memoir foretelling Miss Kathie's death in a forthcoming Lillian Hellman-penned musical extravaganza, Unconditional Surrender, in which she portrays Lilly defeating Japanese forces from Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki. As the body count mounts, Hazie must execute a plan to save Katherine Kenton for her fans--and for posterity.
TELL-ALL is funny, subversive, and fascinatingly clever. It's wild, it's wicked, it's bold-faced - it's vintage Chuck.

We are in the heart of the rainforest of South Cameroon. A river runs close to the village Mashuer Mashuer, inhabited by a Pygmy tribe, the Bagyeli. In the serenity of a hot morning, Mabali-Bienvenüe, a Bagyeli hunter, goes for a swim.

Eclipse
Eclipse is a series of transparent images, a sensation of likeness that we can put our finger on to experience the smell of a stone, the texture of the moon, the reflection of a frozen swamp and animals that enchant in silent woods, that populate silence with a fortitude of sounds like small pipes.
This world is made of gestures, universal movements and characters that reference all of man's ages of performance including the eternal clown, the magnificent art of Bhuto and the ceremony and chants of ancient tribes.
Here we find clarity, the sifting through of purities and impurities only possible when the world is exposed in a moment of Eclipse.
performed and filmed in Tel Aviv, Simta theatre, 11,14/10/07
