Excerpts from CHROMA KEY by Title:Point 
A First Floor Studio Performance Residency

Preview scenes from Title:Point’s newest experimental multi-media-horror-comedy, witness their development process, and join the artists for talk backs:

Saturday, October 8 | 5pm | Scenes 2 & 3
Saturday, October 15 | 5pm | Scenes 1 & 7
Sunday, October 16 | 5pm | Scenes 5 & 6
HB Studio, First Floor Studio, 120 Bank Street

CHROMA KEY is staged through a first-person lens, each scene and event passing through the consciousness of the female protagonist. The work plays with the idea of subjectivity as a pop-drenched perceptual anxiety, where specificity and generality become confused, and comedy is impossible to extract from horror.
