An Evening of Grand Guignol

Reduxion Theatre pushes boundaries once again as it produces “An Evening of Grand Guignol” in Oklahoma City. Grand Guignol (pronounced grahn gee-nyawl) theatre has roots in turn-of-the-20th-century French theatre, with themes exploring horror, sensationalism and seduction, often breaching common sensibilities. Grand Guignol plays lost popularity after World War II, but have recently experienced revivals in cosmopolitan cities like London and Washington, D.C. More commonly known and comparable, but not exact, examples of Grand Guignol-like plays include William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus and Sweeney Todd.



Each performance of Reduxion’s Grand Guignol promises to challenge our humanity and titillate the senses. Featuring several vignettes per night, “Grand Guignol” performances cover topics like adultery, perceptions of beauty, mental disorder, love and pain. Reduxion plans an entertaining menu of “The Final Kiss,” “Jack,” “The Light House,” “Guillotine,” “Doing the Deed,” “The System of Dr. Tarr and Mr. Feather” and “Kiss of Blood,” as well as a few special surprises. Paying homage to original Grand Guignol performances, Reduxion’s adaptations include gory special effects, violence, sexuality and risqué;; antics.



“We’re excited to present this provocative art form to Oklahoma City for the very first time,” said Tim Berg, Grand Guignol Director. “Audiences will be treated to questions about the human condition they may never have considered. Boundaries will be tested and possibly broken. Audience members should expect a night of fascination and horror, taking place just an arm’s length away.”



Grand Guignol will run Fridays and Saturdays, October 5-27, with Friday shows differing from Saturday shows. Reduxion recommends attending a Friday and a Saturday performance in order to experience all seven vignettes. Performances include adult themes and are intended for audience members 18 and older; no children, please.



Grand Guignol serves as the special “Second Stage” opener for Reduxion’s fifth season, entitled “Revolution.” The “Revolution” season continues November 9 and will feature “Richard III,” “Love’s Labour’s Lost” and “Tom Jones.”
