Exposed to Each Other is a film by Mersolis Schone and comes to us from Vienna, Austria. This short film is based on a poetic text collage by Marion Steinfellner that brings together a multicultural and multilingual collection of Indian, Japanese, German and Austrian texts by Yuko Kaseki, Savita Rani, Mersolis Schone and Marion Steinfellner. Presented as a kind of film poem, the common thread of these texts is touch and touching which are presented as journeys and how interpersonal, intercultural encounters connect us to each other across the world. This is the fundamental question at the heart of Exposed to Each Other - How are we connected to each other? - and each scene propels us further on a multi-faceted journey exploring this idea.

City of Love, directed by Eric Boadella, is a film that shows how difficult readjustment to real life can be for individuals in prison for an extended period. We are shown a man who has been in prison since 2001, and he decides to join a driving service after watching videos of its CEO discussing the company. While he begins to work, he is also met with old friends who have moved on from the past. Similar to the film Taxi Driver, he is battling his demons behind the wheel of his car. He begins to fall in love with a customer, a beautiful woman named Molly, who is writing a play. After going on an unsuccessful date, he begins to stalk her while Molly starts to distance herself even further from the creepy taxi driver. Spencer’s life begins to fall down the drain when he begins to fight with an old friend, and he is shown having flashbacks with his mother, which is mainly a painful subject for him; his reason for going to prison is that he killed his mother’s abuser. Viewers see Spencer’s inevitable descent into madness, which climaxes when pretending to be robbing his sex doll and other inanimate objects in his bedroom. He begins to pick up riders from the Wise Choice Insurance company, where his mother has been denied care, resulting in her untimely death. He enters the office by force, stabs an employee, and begins to collect phones and cause damage, which eerily emulates his fake robbery at home. He learns that Molly does not exist in the insurance companies database, and he forces them to upgrade to the premium insurance policy. He claims that his mother would still be alive had he done this sooner and drives his car away. This crime ultimately leads those with life-threatening illnesses to be treated with premium insurance policies.

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"
Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
Here is a look at shows taking place this week along with our featured listings and a look at some upcoming shows. New Jersey Stage offers previews of concerts throughout the Garden State as well as select shows in New York City and Philadelphia areas
