"If you like your satire spicy, foolsFURY has a Polish bill not to be missed. Very funny...[with] clever direction by Yalom and Hipskind and three excellent performances." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Witty, perfectly constructed." --SF Weekly
"Directed shiningly by the young director ... great effect when combining everything in one: physical and acrobatic music, comedy, movements and a good script." -- San Francisco Tribune (translated from the Spanish by Google)
Out at Sea gives us three men, starving, adrift in a life raft, and one simple question: Who will volunteer himself, for the good of the group, to be eaten? From this innocent, logical proposition, Mrozek weaves a hilarious and merciless vision of power and politics.
In The Party three men enter the theater, searching for a party to which they've been invited. They arrive to an empty space, and the haunting question: does this event exist or not? Is it a wedding? A funeral? And if so, shouldn't one of them be getting married? Or dying? Ultimately it becomes both a simple clown show, and a powerful rumination about man's eternal power game - and how humans terrorize themselves and others.
Directed by artistic director Ben Yalom and company member Rod Hipskind, foolsFURY explores Mrozek's disturbing commentary on politics, power, and sacrifice with their distinctive energy and physical comedy.
Featuring Alexander Lewis, Gwen Loeb* and Emilie Miller.
