Additional text by Shoshona Currier
Take a ringside seat at this Phaedra adaptation. Sexual tension runs high, there's a boxing match to the death, the paparazzi are swarming, nobody is telling the truth. Using found text, live music, frenetic dance, and many wigs, The Shalimar entrench themselves in America's celebrity obsession in the midst of a war. Flash photography is encouraged.
