The mission of the company is to depict aspects of Japanese history and culture through the use of a unique blend of hip-hop, house, and contemporary movements, connecting mysterious Japanese culture with movement that is more recognizable and piques audiences’ interest in the culture.
Lewd!Panic Productions is run by Lewd Alfred Douglas, Johnny Panic, and a diverse collection of artists and performers from NYC, representing all the queerness and surrealness that the stage can offer. We aim to represent a vivid rainbow of genders and physicalities while twisting universal theatrical themes.
