Radiohole
TARZANA
February 11–14, 2016 @ 8 pm (Thur-Sat) & 7 pm (Sun)
Legendary, award-winning experimental theater company Radiohole presents Tarzana at The Performing Garage.
A comic book comes alive on the stage: Tarzana is a collaboration with award-winning playwright and screenwriter Jason Grote (Mad Men) who was commissioned by Radiohole to write text for the work. Influenced by film-makers such as Alejandro Jodorowsky and David Lynch and the New York Punk scene of the 1970s and early 80’s, Tarzana unfolds in a hand-drawn landscape following the misadventures of a guilt-ridden Superman, Two Non Blondes and architect of the Terror, Robespierre. What comes to pass is surreal mayhem in true Radiohole tradition: an uproarious, bacchanalian, beautiful mess. Be warned: there will be karaoke. And blood.
Tickets: $15 for discount “splash zone” seats (you may get splattered with water-soluble goo) or $25 for the main house.
Running time: 1 hour 10 minutes.
