True Crime Theatre: Hell’s Belle

True Crime Theatre is a multi-media immersive performance bringing the feel of radio dramas and podcasts into the live arena of arts. Two live actors weave the tale of Belle Gunness supported by live foley artists as well as a live sketch artist, who brings to life missing persons posters in real time. The audience is surrounded by subtle art installations of various artifacts connected to the crimes and vanishing of one of America’s earliest female serial killers.

Written and directed by Kevin G Becker, live drawing by CS Frank.

MFA Blog, Fall 2018: Good Bones

I’m thinking a lot recently about the problem of the body; its presence as solid, container of identity, its absence, its ability to be missing, as in missing person. The body from which the person is missing. The body of the person who is missed. The body, vacated, that still exists in the world- somewhere. Out of its context.
