Kayvon Zand Leads CALIGULA MAXIMUS At House Of Yes 3/31-4/17
By: Gabrielle Sierra Mar. 30, 2011
Industrial-Pop musician, performance artist and one of NYC's biggest underground stars- KAYVON ZAND will lead the cast of Alfred Preisser and Randy Weiner's Caligula Maximus feat. KAYVON ZAND at House of Yes, 342 Mauer St. in Brooklyn, New York, beginning March 31st through April 17th.
Described by the Village Voice as "a dirty-minded extravaganza," Caligula Maximus feat. KAYVON ZAND combines elements of a musical with songs inspired by a pop icon, a high-wire circus and a nightclub installation. It is no wonder ZAND will star in the show; highly respected journalist Michael Musto states, "KAYVON ZAND brings sexuality and satire back to a performance scene that needs it."
A combination of nudity, frivolity and 70′s-inspired decadence, the show is set on the last night of the notorious emperor's life. Originally staged to critical acclaim at La Mama, the sold-out play with music has been overhauled as an all-singing, all-dancing spectacle in which audiences are encouraged to take off their togas for a dip in the CosMic Pool.
The Saint At Large, gaydom's longest running underground party and producer of the notorious BLACK PARTY, joins forces with Lady Circus, the sexually charged acrobatic troupe at their home base the House of Yes Theater, to present what is sure to be the dirtiest show in town.
"The show is like a one night stand. You enter with an open mind, stay with open pants and leave with an open heart," Says ZAND.
Alongside ZAND, who plays the sinister, dark Vaudeville-esque role of Helicon, the show also stars Jamin Ruhren (ACID BETTY) as Caligula and features Luqman Brown, Charles Baskerville, Brittany Alexandra Campell, Matt Dallow, Raelyn Hennessee, Stormy Leather, Isaac Scranton, Xavier Smith and Mia Van De Water.
The show's lead producer, Stephen Pevner had this to say about ZAND, "Not since Alan Cumming's star turn in Cabaret has there been a more captivating MC than KAYVON ZAND in Caligula Maximus."
Caligula Maximus feat. KAYVON ZAND begins previews on March 31st at House of Yes, 342 Mauer St. in Brooklyn, New York, with performances continuing through April 17th. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/167837
