THE 24 HOUR BALD SOPRANO INACTION FIGURES

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.
