Theater Mitu will present the world premiere of (holy) BLOOD. Created by Kayla Asbell, Stivo Arnoczy, Cinthia Chen, Denis Butkus, Dana Haynes, Alex Hawthorn, Michael Littig, Justin Nestor, Rubén Polendo, Monica Sanborn, Scott Jumawan-Spahr, Corey Sullivan, and Ada Westfall. (holy) BLOOD begins performances at MITU580 (580 Sackett St, Brooklyn, NY 11217) on Thursday, May 16, for a limited run of ten performances through Saturday May 25th, 2024.
Mitu's (holy) BLOOD is about obsession…Our guilty obsession with a 1989, cult, B-horror film. Our gory obsession with fake blood pyrotechnics. Our sonic obsession with experimental electronic music. Our hopeful obsession that even the deepest of injuries can heal. Part live-scored silent film, part irreverent midnight movie– (holy) BLOOD creates an entirely original sonic landscape to accompany manipulated pieces of Alejandro Jodorowsky's cult-classic film “Santa Sangre.” Violently shattered across screens and accompanied by explosive blood choreography, this original work remaps a story of circuses, blood cults, madness, and forgiveness.
Tickets are $25 General Admission, $20 for Students, and can be purchased here. The performance schedule for (holy) BLOOD is: May 16 – 19 performances at 8pm with a 2pm show on Sunday May 19. May 21 – 25 performances at 8pm with a 2pm show on Saturday May 25, 2024.
Content Advisory: (holy) BLOOD depicts a story of characters undertaking, at times, horrific and violent actions that highlight gender binaries as well insensitive, ableist, phobic and/or misogynist views. The intent is not to advocate for these viewpoints, but rather to present them as a dark and troubling part of the human experience—and, in so doing, explore spaces of healing and reconciliation. Please note that this production contains: simulated violence, sexual situations, challenging language, and adult subject matter including explorations of death, trauma, incest, sexual violence, abuse, mental illness, as well as loud sounds (including simulated sounds and acts of violence), bright flashing lights and lighting effects, and haze effects. Please also note that this piece presents contained effects of simulated blood/human fluids. Audience discretion is advised.
