- A synthesis of video and musical theater, "Sister Suzie Cinema" is a "doo-wop opera fantasy" about the allure of the movies. This collaboration with theater director/writer/actor Lee Breuer - founding director of the experimental Mabou Mines theater group - and musician Bob Telson features the voices of 14 Karat Soul. Heavily stylized, with elaborate sets and video effects, this production reinterprets the spectacle and artifice of the Hollywood musical using the rhythms and harmonies of soul music.
