Description

RAW (resident artists’ workshop) and 23 Elephants present The Unspeakable Act, a comedic farce inspired by an ancient Japanese fairytale. This provocative one-act follows an empress on her journey of sexual discovery with an unlikely lover: a hermit-monk turned demonic sex stud. Through the use of improvisation, dance and movement, 23 Elephants creates an environment rife with physical comedy and throbbing innuendo. Originally presented in the 2002 New York Fringe Festival, NYTheatre.com hailed it as “the most notably engrossing theatrical opening in recent memory.”

Events at The Garage are produced by SAFEhouse for the Performing Arts (Saving Arts From Extinction), a non-profit arts presenting organization that specializes in incubating new performing art through residencies, workshops and performance. The Garage is the home of RAW (resident artists' workshop), the raw & uncut performance showcase, SPF3 (third annual summer performance festival) and AIRspace (queer performing artists residency program)
