About this Event
Directed by Dan Safer
Starring Tony Torn
Written by Michael McClure
Original music by Christian Frederickson and Jared Michael Nickerson
Spider Rabbit is a play by poet and Obie award winning playwright Michael McClure. Written in 1971, it is an “absurdist anti war gargoyle cartoon” that feels increasingly relevant 50+ years later. It is a radical, expressionistic, surreal journey that feels like an episode of Pee Wee’s Playhouse turning into a poignant tragedy turning into a howl against brutality.
Dan Safer and Tony Torn co-created the wildly acclaimed Ubu Sings Ubu. Between the two of them, they have worked with Reza Abdoh, Richard Foreman, Mabou Mines, Pigface, Genesis P-Orridge, Anohni’s Blacklips Performance Kult, made choreography for the Queen of Thailand’s birthday party, gogo danced at Squeezebox and Jackie 60, performed on Broadway, at BAM, and Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris, among all sorts of other people, places, and things. Torn was in the remake of Stepford Wives and Safer has over 50 tattoos.
