About the Production: Oscar Wilde's electrifying novel comes to the stage in this dynamic World Premiere adaptation. Using words, movement, and music this new performance keeps Wilde's story in its own time but highlights the relevance of his fable to our own. Wilde's story of vanity, ambition and lust rocked his world with its frank portrayal of the lives of artists and libertines. This production will utilize a cinematic and "surprise element" technique in its narrative, creating a dreamscape of possibility even as it tells Wilde's story. This story remains potent today in exploring the limits and delimits of desire and ambition. In the tradition of Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Wilde's story even challenges the limits of corporality. Just as the body is mutable, the story telling will be mutable. This sexy, shocking production is at once mystery, fantasy, science fiction and terrifying parable.
