monument (or, King lear)

Bootleg Theater

Los Angeles, 2019 

Monument (or, King Lear) is a transgressive collage of devised material around Shakespeare’s original text. This production blurs the line between narrative and non-narrative, classical and original, in a highly visual meditation on the consequences of patriarchy, transfiguring that which is familiar into an elemental dream escape.
