To celebrate the continuing work of the company that brought William Blake's ECHOES OF ETTA to Joe's Pub, this electric joyride into the life of famed artist Keith Haring returns to the Public Theater in a fresh, re-imagined approach, Theatre C style. In this version, the audience members are the guests to the grand Party of Life in 1990, celebrating Haring's body of work. The event abruptly transforms into an unexpected journey down the rabbit hole of his existence. As we go on this raging ride, we face the joys, obsessions, inspirations, and addictions that defined Haring's short yet unparalleled life, from unassuming art nerd to superstar maestro and activist.
