Fluentum presents THEATER, a solo exhibition by artist duo Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff that reflects on live performance in an age of radical change. THEATER marks the beginning of their newest durational film, with the first three episodes commissioned by Fluentum.
Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff’s new film THEATER is set and shot at New Theater Hollywood in Los Angeles, the black box theater space the two artists have been operating since January 2024. Blending fiction and performance documentation, THEATER uses footage shot during rehearsals of productions staged at New Theater Hollywood to construct a narrative around a character named Kennedy, played by filmmaker Leilah Weinraub, who buys a fifty-seat theater after a car accident and subsequent cash settlement. In the film’s first three episodes premiering at Fluentum, Kennedy moves into the theater and attempts to build an ensemble. In her desire for community, she faces the cult-like power it takes to keep a group together, and the unyielding hope of transformation through fame–all haunted by strikes, ghosts, exploitation, and the maddening reality of living inside of other people’s ambitions.
