A visceral and violent look at humanity, both funny and disturbing. Love, loss, sex, religion and violence collide, pushing the world into apocalypse. What once seemed beautiful becomes a chaotic hell. The discovery of Truth is imminent…as are scorpions.

In this production of Jet of Blood or the Ball of Glass actors, painters, musicians, choreographers, puppeteers, and designers have collaborated to see if art can truly serve a revolutionary purpose. Inspired by Artaud's theory and writings, a live band communicates with the fearless cast in this boldly unique production. The ensemble of actors creates an extremely physical and entirely unique vocabulary of gesture, movement and sound to dig at the very marrow of the human condition. This is an experiment on the necessity of art and the need to reinvent. This production brings culture back into the theatrical arena, stimulates all of the senses and pushes the very limits of theatre as we know it in America today.

No. 11 Productions is an ensemble of theatre artists continuously learning, growing, and becoming as a company. No. 11 strives to create a wide variety of theatre that inspires audiences to become active participants in the world. Asymptotically working towards truth, we are dedicated to constantly questioning our world by presenting different perspectives – we juxtapose seeming reality with the unexpected.
