3-Legged Dog will present the World Premiere of Chuck Mee's FIRE 
ISLAND in Spring 2008, which features 108 artists, including a Tuvan 
throat singer, 3-Dimensional Eyeliner Technology, and converts 3LD's 
Studio A into a white sandy beach for the ultimate high-tech beach party

New York, New York August 14, 2008-In one of their most ambitious 
projects to date, 3-Legged Dog will present the World Premiere of 
Chuck Mee's FIRE ISLAND at their space, the 3LD Art and Technology 
Center in April 2008.

3-Legged Dog was approached by renowned playwright Chuck Mee, the 
featured playwright of the Signature Theater's 2007/08 season, to 
premiere his play FIRE ISLAND, which Mee created specifically with 3-
Legged Dog in mind.  This massive endeavor will transform 3LD's 
Studio A into a multi-dimensional beach party (sand included), 
incorporating the 3-D Eyeliner technology that 3LD premiered last 
season in Losing Something.

FIRE ISLAND takes on several forms: an extremely wide format HD video 
work, a large scale panoramic multi-media installation/performance 
with 3-dimensional video and spatial sound as well as an on-going 
interactive web component.

FIRE ISLAND involves 108 artists, including the Tuvan throat singer 
Albert Kuvezin.  Kuvezin's album Re-Covers, which is specified in the 
script, consists of covers of popular songs (like Joy Division's 
"Love Will Tear Us Apart" and Iron Butterfly's "In a Gadda Da Vida") 
performed with Tuvan overtone singing and traditional Tuvan 
instruments. Kuvezin will travel from Tuva to perform in the piece 
both on video and live.

3-Legged Dog began shooting video on Fire Island this summer (They filmed in July--from the 23rd until Aug 5. Location was  primarily in Cherry Grove, with one day of shooting in the Pines.)
and web  work has begun with detailed tracking of pre production design 
documents and a commentary section. The multi-camera HD Video shoot 
will be processed first for the live installation performance, which  will resemble a multi-dimensional beach party.  The ultra-wide format video will be edited incorporating video shot during the live installation, video shot on Fire Island (both fictional and  
documentary), special effects as well as studio shoots and animations.

FIRE ISLAND will premiere at 3LD the first week of April in 2008.
