Phoenix Arts Association presents The Nose by Nicolai Gogol (part 1 of a multi-art project Gogol’s Overcoat) in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Nicolai Gogol. The show will be performed by the International Theater Ensemble Fridays and Saturdays, March 6,7 & 13, 14, at 8pm at the Phoenix Theatre Annex, 414 Mason St., Suite 406, San Francisco, 94102.

doors open at 7:30pm.

The Nose is the first part of the multi-art project Gogol's Overcoat artistically directed by Oleg Liptsin and produced by ITE in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the great Russian author, Nikolai Gogol. Being a part of a larger multi-art creation, THE NOSE is focused on certain artistic elements that eventually will merge together with other components such as shadow theatre art and robotics art in a full-scale production of Gogol's Overcoat.

As Oleg Liptsin explains “There are three main artistic elements that we were focused on during the first phase of creation:
- modern interactive approach to the classical art of narration and story telling using the recent technological achievements in communication devices such as iPhone and its applications;
- live interaction with body tracking software and new projection techniques using the unique “conscious=camera” capturing software;
- the original combination of live acting and video art as one of the main expressive tools in modern performance.”

The Nose is a creation in progress and therefore represents the process of artistic search and development in the area of re-establishing the ancient art of narration and story telling using our modern communication tools and interactive technology.
