Portland s Mad Horse Theatre continues its commitment to new plays by company members during the pandemic. THIS IS JUST INTERMISSION by Jared Mongeau is a one-character absurdist musing on the isolation of the pandemic.
Mongeau s forty-minute video is styled in the tradition of mime, featuring his protagonist, Bloomers LeFaye engaged in a series of clown circus gags, all set i9n a white-walled room with a closet that opens and closes, reinforcing the feeling of Sartrian No Exit. Silence is the prevailing mode for most of the video, though occasional sound effects and music, as well as one brief speaking interlude constitute the soundscape. There is an existential emptiness to the piece and, I might add, a heavy overlay of ennui, both intended no doubt by Mongeau.

Mad Horse Theatre is proud to present a new virtual theater experience, “This is Just Intermission,” a digital physical comedy, created and performed by Jared Mongeau in a real-time stream at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 19, and Friday, Feb. 26 with streaming available through March 7.
Mad Horse and Mongeau teamed up to develop “This is Just Intermission” to explore what defines “live theatre” in the age of COVID by creating as engaging a theatrical experience as possible. Through feedback from the audience, the show will be work-shopped further before the second performance. Performances will include a talk-back, and an optional survey.
