RAGE, RAGE – anti-bourgeois revolution – poetry – dance – BRUTALIST soundscapes – marionette theater – LOVE and HATE combine to protest and promote the entropy of the universe. Join absurdist historian Madeline Magnifico, known as MaMa (portrayed by Jerilyn Paige), for art history in the making. Offered as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival.



Witness an evening of experimental, improvisational, absurdist theater in the style of the Zurich Dada movement of the 1920’s. This near-forgotten and long-neglected art form is the perfect pairing with today’s disaffection, pent-up rage, protest energy, and existential angst.
