BAROCOCO with Happenstance Theater
Sat, Feb 6 · 7:30 PM Publick Playhouse
Hailed by The New York Times as “…outrageous feats of physical comedy,” BAROCOCO is a collaborative-decided ensemble work in which Happenstance Theater portrays oblivious entitlement on the brink of extinction. This timely reflection on history is a physical comedy dive into the late Baroque and flaunts 18th-century finery, wigs, panniers, gestural styling, elaborate ornamentation, and the excesses of Rococo. The characters navigate dangerous curves of manners and the Age of Enlightenment from the exquisite to the revolting. Happenstance has great fun puncturing one percent pomposity and presents the poignant possibility of change. Please Note: All Publick Playhouse ticket sales are final.
