Cabaret of Desire

Directed by Sean Graney
Conceived and designed by Blair Thomas

Presented by Blair Thomas and Company

October 09, 2008 — November 08, 2008
Storefront Theater

High art meets low as Blair Thomas & Company give voice to 20th century poet Federico Garcia Lorca through a cabaret of puppets, amoral ruffians, and original music for an evening of highly unique theater.  This production combines several of Lorca’s short works, including Chimera and Buster Keaton’s Stroll, to create an original comedy of failures chronicling one man’s pursuit of love and affection. What unfolds is a surreal world where one man’s fantasy collides with its own end.

Post-show discussions on Thursday, October 9 and Thursday, October 23.

In addition to the presentation of Cabaret of Desire at the Storefront Theater, Blair Thomas & Company presents The Ox-herder’s Tale at the Museum of Contemporary Art (220 East Chicago Ave) from November 19-30, 2008.
