There are few venues less obviously conducive to public performance than Exit Stage Left, a squashed black box in the heart of the Tenderloin, which, contrary to its name, doesn't even have much of a stage to speak of. But In3, the first production in Exit Theatre's Resident Artist Series, turns the nondescript little room into bizarre and beautiful new terrain. Devised by an ensemble of actors, designers, a musician, and a choreographer, In3 is a complex and largely abstract counterpoint of jarring and fluid movement, and spiraling text, music, and color. Although the occasionally heavy-handed visual metaphors and frequent physical and textual non sequiturs take the production dangerously close to the realm of pseudo-theater of the absurd, David Malloy's gently explosive music gives In3 coherence and soul.
