ONLINE CONTEMPORARY THEATER
Premiere: Wednesday, November 18, 8 PM EST — Followed by an artist Q&A
Written by award-winning playwright/director Satoko Ichihara, Underground Fairy addresses themes of isolation, alienation and belonging as the play follows Euriaeria, a half-fairy-half-human living in a fairy community. Using a series of absurd vignettes, Ichihara examines the relationship between becoming an adult and conforming to societal norms. Known for her cross-disciplinary collaborations, NY-based director and co-founder of the live arts collective Piehole Tara Ahmadinejad will lead American actors in creating an innovative online presentation.
There will be a live post-performance Q&A with Tara Ahmadinejad and Satoko Ichihara (in Tokyo).
Tickets: $15 / $12 members / $0 Sustaining ($250) members & above
This program will be available to purchase and stream any time from the November 18 premiere until December 2.
