MANIFESTING MRS. MARX Comes to The Brick This March

Journey into the soul of a woman betrayed by her famed husband, philosopher Karl Marx.

Manifesting Mrs. Marx is a biographical non-biography. Jenny Marx is subverting the telling of the story of Jenny Marx by another, to tell the story of Jenny Marx, herself. It is about a woman trapped inside history books. It is an homage to all peoples trapped inside their bodies, trapped inside the delusion of what society tells them their limitations must be, trapped inside the body of a man, trapped inside the body of who she once was: ostentatious stratification.

We witness the character's birth and destruction, endured through the psychosis of her trauma and times.

Manifesting Mr.s Marx will play at The Brick (579 Metropolitan Ave at Lorimer Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn) March 8th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 21st (show-times listed above) Tickets ($20) may be purchased online at www.bricktheater.com or by calling 866-811-4111.
