Wanderlust
Description
A quest for the wondrous has inspired artists, scientists and explorers for centuries. The iconic 1933 film King Kong presents the story of a man on a journey to find the elusive and terrifying monster, Kong. WONDER/LUST simultaneously follows his journey as well as the making of the film itself. As actors screen test, rehearse, and perform scenes from King Kong on a soundstage, the film’s plot is woven with contemporary reflections on the themes it presents. The result is a kaleidoscopic view of wonder and the human thirst for it.
