SYNOPSIS
The epic of Gilgamesh is preserved on twelve clay tablets, assembled in ancient Mesopotamia by the priest Sin-liqe-unninni. Animals are mentioned once or twice in the early tablets, and then ignored. But three thousand years later, the tablets are falling apart, and animals are taking over the gaps. Set in present-day New York City and ancient Iraq, featuring the goddess Ishtar and police commissioner Bernard Kerik, this is a story of modern cities, ancient battles, homoerotic silences, and men who want to be gods. In RAG FUR BLOOD BONE, over 20 actors, musicians and Babylonian scholars assemble at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center to rip this tale open and eat its bleeding heart.

Wolf 359 is director Michael Rau and writer/performer Michael Yates Crowley, both artists in residence at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center. They have been working together for over ten years, in Chicago, New York City and overseas. Their most recent show, The Ted Haggard Monologues, based on an evangelical sex scandal, is currently playing to sold-out houses in Germany. The next Wolf 359 production, the non-autobiographical suburban black comedy When We Remember Evanston, will premiere this summer in New York City.
