Break the Mask

Lewd!Panic Productions premiers its new scripted burlesque/cabaret piece BREAK THE MASK / PROLOMIT MASKU starring Johnny Panic, Lewd Alfred Douglas, Zelma Zelma and featuring Minx Arcana

This New York City troupe is premiering Break The Mask in their home town before being featured at Prague Fringe Festival 2016! All proceeds from this premiere will help them on their magnificent 5 night run in the golden city.

Some masks are made of iron, some of silk. Some suffocate, their straps raising welts and disfiguring the skull. Their removal tears skin.
Other masks are placed by gentle but unforgiving hands of the mother and father. The repercussions of slipping from its ribbons unspeakable, cruel - more agonizing than any beating.

Break the Mask explores the lives of 5 young LGBT people surviving in the time between wars. Their lives are viewed through the lense of a single cameraman. The masks they wear are public image, beauty, society standards, and the cult of personality.
