Radiohole "Inflatable Frankenstein"
The Kitchen
This event has ended.
One of New York’s most tenacious and beloved theatrical ensembles explores the cultural legend of Frankenstein, everyone’s metaphor for nearly everything. Source material includes Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, James Whale's cinematic Frankenstein canon, details from Mary Shelley's tragic life, the work of Antonin Artaud, and more than one hundred other Frankenstein films. Inflatable Frankenstein is blood-chilling and completely strange, filled with whimsical creature fantasy, technological absurdity, electric air, and bodily fluids. Created and performed by Maggie Hoffman, Eric Dyer, Erin Douglass, Joseph Silovsky, and Mark Jaynes, along with DJ Shark, Blood Woofer, and The Creature Without Organs.
Radiohole was birthed in a Brooklyn basement in 1998 by Erin Douglass, Eric Dyer, Maggie Hoffman, and Scott Halverson Gillette. The company has produced ten original works that have been presented at venues around New York City including PS122, the Kitchen, and the Collapsable Hole (sic) and have toured nationally and internationally. Radiohole’s most recent show, Whatever, Heaven Allows was commissioned by PS122, The Walker Art Center, and the Andy Warhol Museum through the Spalding Gray Award. Whatever, Heaven Allows had its European premiere in April 2012 at Katapult Teater at Godsbanen in Århus, Denmark. Over the years, Radiohole has earned a reputation as one of New York’s most adventurous and uncompromising ensembles. The Drama Review calls Radiohole, “the quintessential American performance group.”
