Spy Garbo March 31, 2011

In 'Spy Garbo,' Fascist Francisco Franco, Communist Kim Philby and Hitler's Wilhelm Canaris are trapped together in History's limbo - an infinite library of scenes from their past's archival newsreels, noir thrillers and Nazi home movies. The men argue, reconstruct and relive their personal exploits, challenge accepted history, rationalize and lie - to one-up Garbo, the master secret agent, and win the starring role in History's definitive WW II spy-adventure movie. 'Spy Garbo' explores the narrative possibilities created by digital technology, trespassing the borders that separate stage, cinema, historical documentary, spy thrillers and political commentary. With a 130-foot curved HD screen and a full-stage holographic video projection system, 'Spy Garbo' takes the audience from History's limbo into the winding trenches of World War I, to the Spanish Civil War, along the Nazi Hall of Triumph, down the vast sewers of Vienna, and through WWII - to decide what makes an iconic figure a hero or a villain.
