The Wooster Group presents the West Coast premiere of Symphony of Rats, a reimagining of Richard Foreman's 1988 play, directed by Elizabeth LeCompte and Kate Valk. Set in a spaceship-museum gallery, the production follows a president receiving mysterious messages as he encounters otherworldly beings, including a giant rat. With a layered sound and video score, the performance explores themes of technology and humanity's essence. Featured cast members include Michaela Murphy, Niall Cunningham, Jim Fletcher, and Ari Fliakos.
