Local theater troupe to present Dali play
October 2, 2008
The Athens-based theater company Limehouse Theater will present the U.S. premiere of their show “Hallucinogenic Toreador,” a performance about painter Salvador Dali.
The play by Dallas-based playwright John Flores will be performed Friday at midnight and Saturday at 9:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. at UnionArts on 15 Union St.
After receiving rave reviews in May at the Prague International Fringe Festival, Limehouse will bring this lively performance to Athens, according to a news release.
Limehouse Theater is a new company created by Ohio University master of fine arts directors Elenna Mosoff of Toronto, Canada and Vanessa Mercado Taylor of Dallas, Texas. The company seeks to explore the diversity of experiences in the world and works with international artists, the release said.
“Hallucinogenic Toreador” is an exploration of Dali’s most autobiographical painting. The release stated that “it is a spontaneous, irrational, systematic performance that combines images, text and action in an effort to express but never explain Dali’s persona and the ongoing manifestations of his own creative process as fractured and fragmented through the many facets of Dadaism, Cubism, Freudian Theory, Surrealism and ultimately, Dali-ism.”
