CRINGE to be Presented at 59E59 Theaters and theSpaceUK This Summer
CRINGE runs off-Broadway in New York City at 59E59 Theaters before making its Edinburgh premiere on August 12th.
It begins with a show. The Show. The star-hopping, utopian, science-fiction show that seized American hearts one television set at a time. In 1969, a group of housewives write forbidden love stories in suburban kitchens. In a Y2K bedroom, two teens fall through an internet wormhole into a 50-year-old, subtextually homoerotic TV series.
CRINGE follows the creation of fanfiction as we know it–an unauthorized celebration of intergenerational fandom, liberative queer space, and collaborative fantasy, with a dose of camp and an even larger dose of… well. Cringe.
Irreverent and heartfelt, it's a story about coming of age in digital space. Emerging from its guilty-pleasure delineation, fanfiction takes center stage in CRINGE as a radical tool for community creation and exploration of queer identity, desire, and reimagined futures.
Fishmarket Theatre Co. is a NYC-based, circus-raised, physical theater group, celebrating innovative storytelling. From installation art Shakespeare to dark comedies in ceramic studios, Fishmarket focuses on multi-dimensional, interdisciplinary work, bringing shows to nontraditional venues and reveling in the playful, the imaginative, and the embodied.
