DOWN THE URINAL HOLE AND AROUND THE CORNER THE CULT NEXT DOOR ENSEMBLE
About This Show
A Dixon Place premiere you won’t tell your parents about when you dress up and sneak out to see it late at night. Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s Masque of the Red Death, this ensemble-created piece explores power, privilege, and unrequited love. We follow the adventures of MAN as he stumbles upon an invitation he shouldn’t open, goes to a party where he doesn’t belong, and experiences a night he never should have experienced. Using subculture interactions to reflect societal norms, this show reveals and destabilizes the status quo like a funhouse mirror. Drawing from the worlds of vaudeville, clowning, drag, and cult horror, we aim to entertain, unsettle, disgust, and delight.
about the artists
The Cult Next Door Ensemble is a NYC-based theatre company founded in the depths of Pace University’s School of Performing Arts. This eclectic mix of international performers, trained in various types of performance, have come together to manifest ungodly proportions. Together, they incorporate music, satire, visceral movement, and explosions to create work that reveals the strange, grotesque underside of daily routines. IG: @TheCultNextDoorEnsemble
