URBAN RESEARCH THEATER presents the world premiere of PLAY/WAR, an explosive journey through intimacy, violence, and liberation. The performance explores the intermingling of play and war through an encounter between two nameless men, one in army camouflage and the other wearing a business suit. Over the course of the hour-long performance, the relationship of these two men passes through aggressive confrontation, childhood innocence, erotic potential, and more. PLAY/WAR explores contemporary masculinity through original dialogue, choreography, and songs ranging in style from traditional folk and sacred music to hip-hop.
