Coming to NYC’s Stranger Than Fiction series tomorrow, Tuesday, February 2: OXD: ONE EXTRAORDINARY DAY
Craig Lowy’s chronicle of an ambitious series of performance spectacles made its bow at DOC NYC last year. It now opens Thom Powers and Raphaela Neihausen’s Winter season of their popular IFC Center doc series.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
Elizabeth Streb’s Extreme Action Company has been thrilling audiences around the world since 1985, but never before have they attempted to pull off something as challenging as One Extraordinary Day, a centerpiece culture event celebrating the London Summer Olympics. Craig Lowy’s exhilarating film follows the Brooklyn troupe from auditions, through rehearsals, to the performance of seven death-defying dance spectacles on some of the UK capital’s most famous landmarks, including Millennium Bridge and the London Eye.
