Tickets available at www.eventbrite.com. Audience will witness the lives of two iconic figures in history play out through unconventional storytelling. Join us for a double feature of 1-act plays by UNO professor Justin Maxwell. Marie Antoinette’s Head – In this campy comedy we follow Marie Antoinette’s hair dresser, Leonardo, as he pursues Marie’s severed head across time and space. The first panel of the triptych takes Leonardo to the Palace of Versailles, just after the Queen’s execution, where drunken peasants are being harassed by Rousseau while partying with the head. Then the play shifts to California’s Corcoran Prison, in 1994, where the guards were staging gladiatorial combats between prisoners. Leonardo finds himself in the prison’s green room, with their combat becoming a game-show, hosted by Charles Darwin, and the head shamefully serving as the consolation prize. And finally Leonardo’s pursuit takes him to a Gnostic semen cult in 1st century Rome, on the day of the great fire. In the Roman catacombs, Nero spies on the cultists’ feast, while Leonardo gets caught swiping the head from their altar. Throughout it all the telephone keeps ringing. It’s Marie calling for Leonardo, and he always hangs up.
Exhausted Paint: The Death of Van Gogh– The famous artist Vincent Van Gogh talks about his life, specifically his moments of failure. This show is built around ideas of disorientation and struggle as we immerse ourselves in the life of this renowned artist. Van Gogh uses a wheel with a series of objects to propel his story telling forward. Each object represents a moment from his life. Consequently, the play has no set internal structure, only the introduction and conclusion are set. All of the scenes in between are performed in a random order, leaving the audience with a different experience for every show!
