Come and see the show that is so big and full of fresh fruit it will probably never happen again...From the company that brought you Conceived & Directed by JOSH FOX The Flamboyán Theater Tickets $20 Josh Fox and The International WOW Company present a physical-theater epic of stunning proportions -- a space between dreaming and waking, where lovers meet, have children and die in a span of five minutes, where huge families assemble to create cave drawings on and with their bodies; to a massive tomato fight where audience members are encouraged to throw their own tomatoes; to underwater scenes where dancers covered in chocolate pudding narrowly escape from shadow-puppet sharks. A terrifying and intoxicating world of perpetual pleasure... joy may prove to be just as dangerous as anything we can feel. For more information go to www.internationalwow.org. 12/1/2004

More from International WOW...Death of Nations, Parts 1 4
17 Actors from 9 Countries on 3 Continents take you on an epic, theatrical journey through globalization and the new world order, in an actual two-day tour of all four boroughs of New York City. Careening from the American film industry to a woman on the verge of suicide high above the Ping River, from South American currency speculators to the destruction in Iraq, this theatrical event will be the ride of a lifetime. Incarnations of DEATH OF NATIONS have been seen at Soho Think Tank's Ice Factory Festival; in Chiang Mai, Thailand; the Setagaya Public Theatre in Tokyo; and at Museo del Barrio as part of Ma-Yi Theater Company's "Performing Ethnicity Conference." A History of God
Written and Directed by Josh Fox A History of God takes place in a world created by our fantasies and beliefs, which grafts the war-zones of Iraq and Afghanistan onto our American present. The space created is simultaneously an interrogation room, an office, and a brothel in which Americans can pay to enact their fantasies on a Third World other. But something strange happens, as it often does when men and women are in dark rooms late at night: two people fall in love. A History of God juxtaposes two questions: is a true and sustaining love possible between two people; and, is a true and sustaining peace possible between nations? |
