In a powerhouse one-night-only concert, Hedwig takes to the stage to smash the fourth wall and rock the house. Hedwig, an East German rock ’n’ roll goddess, happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation, which has left her with an “angry inch.” Hedwig (née Hansel) explains her story in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine, backed by a hard-rocking band called “The Angry Inch.” Through songs and monologues, Hedwig tells her story, which began in the former East Berlin, to a Kansas trailer park, and right to the Indianapolis stage. Through head-banging anthems and heartfelt rock ballads, Hedwig describes her life’s search for “The Origin of Love” and a reunion with her other half. It’s a rocking ride – funny, touching, and ultimately inspiring to anyone who feels life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.Content Advisory: Flashing lights and haze effects, discussion of sexual violence, depictions of body hatred, adult language.
