Curtain Callers portrays the processes that form the charged moment when audience and actor meet, how each, in a quasi-ritualistic way prepares for the encounter with the other. The actors’ and the audience’s spaces are interspersed with stories: written, private, and perhaps only rumored. The theater is a never-ending chain of beginnings and endings that reflects humanity’s doubleedged existence.
