Monkey Madness mashes satire, clowning, pantomime, dance, and music together into a wild and grotesque theatrical event.  Written and directed by Daisuke Tsuji, a former clown with Cirque du Soleil, Monkey Madness delivers what it promises in its title, ‘monkeys’ and ‘madness’, from the moment the audience steps into the theatre.  The play follows a simple story about Monkey Boy, whose wish is to evolve into a human being, and the tribe of monkeys and apes that try to adapt to the new culture of ‘humanity’.  They both lead to the same question, “What does it mean to be human?” and climax with a war between the monkeys and apes (“Feces will FLY!”… figuratively speaking).  Monkey Madness captures the audience with unrelenting satirical comedy, unrelenting joy, and an ending that will haunt the monkeys within our souls.

Performances are Thur~Sat (No Sun) @ 8pm.
