Offending the Audience
The Velaslavasay Panorama
Los Angeles, CA
Offending The Audience is an "anti-play" that was written in 1966 by the Austrian avant-garde novelist and playwright Peter Handke. This hour-long lecture about theater must, by necessity, take place in a theater while attempting to be as un-theatrical as possible. In this particular adaptation, the nature of performance is questioned by seven children between the ages of six and twelve. Their lack of poise, self-possession and life experience in exploring the physical and psychological space of the theater are exactly what this seminal work needs to give it new weight.
With : Zane Amundsen, Amber Barbell, Mathew Davis, Bailey Garcia, Kaitlin Morgan, Gerald Orzikh, Talyan Wright
