    Employing an unproduced screenplay by Richard Foreman, Unconscious Motives... takes the idea of the fascination with filming to it's surreal height. Capitalizing on the frantic jump-cuts of filmmaking, we are thrown into a whirlpool of anticipation and action, following The Wooster Group's Anna Köhler through a dizzying escapade of intrusion and underground film stardom. Dances and fights break out, bodies fall from the sky, persistent music scores the hysteria and when an earthquake hits, all hell breaks loose. Merope Vachlioti's massively oppressive set provides the backdrop for this invasive tale of paranoia and celebrity, all watched by a huge eyeball that surreptitiously looms over the world of the play...and beyond.
