Paratheatre by Martin and Álvarez López

The Melbourne International Film Festival has commissioned a video essay series by Adrian Martin and Cristina Álvarez López titled Paratheatre – Plays Without Stages. This commission coincides with the festival’s special screening of Jacques Rivette’s 13-hour Out 1 – Noli me tangere (1971). Martin and Álvarez López have also published a written text-based essay on Paratheatre, which can be accessed at MUBI Notebook. Part 1 of the video essay series can be seen below.
