“Mesmerizing … sci-fi satire underscored like a merrily suspenseful summer blockbuster.” —Los Angeles TimesFor the first time in 25 years, the legendary Wooster Group returns to the Twin Cities. In this blockbuster production, they reimagine Symphony of Rats, the 1988 play by fellow experimental theater maestro Richard Foreman. At the story’s center is a megalomaniac US president who is losing his mind. From his perch on a toilet throne, he fields illusory alien transmissions, while a series of surreal vignettes unfolds. Grand in scale and meticulous in design, the Wooster Group assembles a sweep of hallucinatory fragments into a sci-fi satire of power and delusion.
Directed by Elizabeth LeCompte and Kate Valk.
