A wonderland of restored meaning in a world gone mad!

Truth and Beauty!

You’ll cry!
You’ll be so glad you came it will all be worth it you’ll see wow incredible oh my god!
1348, Avignon, France: a third of the population has been wiped out by the Bubonic Plague. The other two thirds is extremely freaked out. Part reality television, part psychedelic fever dream, this is a play about humans and the way we deal with real, actual tragedy: totally inadequately, and like assholes.

will be the first full length performance by CURRENT BIOGRAPHY

Using our relationship to exploit the inherently meta nature of a performance duo, GETTING TO KNOW YOU will be both a commentary on the radical nature of platonic male-female friendships as well as an exploration of building our own relationship as friends and collaborators. We will juxtapose our friendship against iconic friendships found in literature, pop-culture, and throughout history. Even if it takes some digging to find cross-sex friendships that spout something other than When Harry Met Sally maxims.

late spring/early summer 2016
