Canceled

When their adaptation of Camus's "The Plague" is canceled and their city is locked down due to COVID, members of a New York butoh dance troupe are forced to stay home and work through relationship problems and unresolved issues.

This improvised docudrama was shot the day before Theater for the New City and other NYC theaters closed their doors by order of the mayor. The ensuing stay-at-home order kept us from shooting more than the pilot. "Canceled" was canceled. But the pilot survives as a record of the last days of off-off-Broadway theater on the eve of a pandemic.

A film by Joshua Crone Featuring Yokko, Miles Butler, Christina Petrova, Tim Palmer, Weronika Helena Woźniak, Alec Stephens III, Thoeger Hansen, and André Vauthey Music by Paul Michael Henry and I Am the Third.
