In the Lounge Nymphs, the Devil, and the Most Famous Transsexual You Never Knew Leanora Lange, Bráulio Cruz
About This Show
About the Wrath of Juno:
Infused with pop culture of 1990s and early 2000s, this reimagining of Ovid’s Metamorphoses transforms the gods Juno and Jove into June and Joe, two despicable McMansion dwellers. When cruel June steals away the voice of the nymph Echo, she can only repeat song lyrics, clichés, or words others say as she wastes away alone. Tiresias – the most famous ancient transsexual you ever (or never) knew – is called in to settle an argument between June and Joe: who gets more pleasure out of sex, men or women? His answer leads him to fame.
About Sheltered:
Sheltered features spoken word and original music and explores personalities/personas encountered through depression: the nymph, the devil, the princess, and others.
