La MaMa in association with Talking Band is proud to present the world premiere of The Door Slams, A Glass Trembles written and directed by Paul Zimet with music by Ellen Maddow. A couple moves from the city to a rural home, hoping for respite from the political turmoil gripping the country. In the spirit of Thomas Mann’s novel The Magic Mountain, time elongates, compresses, and layers events past, present and imagined, until a fatal accident wrenches everyone into the present.
