Alex Tatarsky Sad Boys in Harpy Land
Advertisement
An absurdist driven by serious ideas, Tatarsky takes audiences to unexpected, hilarious, uncomfortable places.
Alex Tatarsky is a self-proclaimed “experimental clown artist,” and their performances break down the boundaries between comedy, dance-theater, performance art, and deluded rant—sometimes with songs. Of Sad Boys in Harpy Land they say, “I guess my question is, if society is dysfunctional, then what does it mean to function well within it? Might being dysfunction be a valid—even rational—response to a world that makes no sense?” Tatarsky answers with a series of existential vignettes in the hellscape of the mind, fusing autobiographical bones onto those of equally tormented protagonists from sources including Goethe, Dante, Amiri Baraka, Helen Adams, and Seinfeld in a falling-apart coming-of-age story.
AUDIENCE ADVISORY: This performance will contain adult content (including brief nudity), language, and themes.
Performance dates:
October 28 at 7:30 p.m.
October 29 at 7:30 p.m.
