New York-based new media artist, director and designer Reid Farrington will debut his hybrid video/live theater work Gin & “It” at the Wexner Center March 4-7. Farrington’s cast of four puts Alfred Hitchcock’s precisely choreographed tech crew for the murder mystery Rope in the foreground of Gin & “It,” while they also simultaneously represent Rope’s main characters as hybrid filmic/human presences — blurring the lines between the roles of the technicians and the actors’ characters. Showtimes are 8 p.m. March 4-6 and 2 p.m. March 7 at the Film/Video Theater. Tickets are $16 for the general public, $13 for members and $10 for students. Call 292-3535 for tickets or more information or visit wexarts.org.
