THE 24 HOUR BALD SOPRANO INACTION FIGURES

Thursday, January 21, 2010



This January 22nd at 8 PM, a unique theatrical event will kick off at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia. Brat Productions will begin performing Eugene Ionesco's absurdist play The Bald Soprano, and they will carry on performing it every hour, for the next 24 hours.

Audience members who attempt to make it through the whole thing will be given shots of coffee to keep them awake, but I'd wager things are going to get very surreal indeed 'round about hour 12. If it's gonna be rough on the audience, I don't even want to think about how the performers are gonna hold up. This wacky little conceptual art prank is probably gonna seem a lot less funny by the time the sun is coming up.

As if the whole thing isn't already peculiar enough, the troupe has posted the above ad for Bald Soprano "inaction" figures. Are these things actually for sale? Hell, I don't know. The show hasn't even begun, and I already feel like I could use a cup of joe to help me puzzle it all out.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
