DUMMY IN DIASPORA

iboozer Theatre

Poetic, laughable, and raw coming-of-age tale of A Middle Eastern American boy, Essa, whose parents are refugees. Join Essa as he navigates sexuality, religion, the English language, and a nicotine demon that won’t leave him alone. In a one person show told between different ages throughout his life, Essa confesses to us the experience of growing up in a country that doesn’t have a place for him. A surprising new work, soon to be making its UK Premiere at Edinburgh Festival Fringe this coming August.

The Den Theatre is pleased to host Dummy in Diaspora on June 21-23, 2024 at 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood.

Closes June 23 @ 7:00pm

ENTER LEGLAND

iboozer Theatre

As RhinoFest puts it: After a standing ovation at the International Physical Theatre Festival, we are debuting our full production of “Enter LegLand”. Witness our distorted leg-creatures existing in a desert of lost words under the ever-watching free-trial of a censor god, who makes sure all content is EXACTLY PG-13, (never veering into the evils of PG-12 or PG-14.) Leaning on foundations in bouffon, drag, and sketch comedy, LegLand guides you through a dense and energetic world of absurdity. Incorporating bizarre props and costumes, surreal language, and warped video elements, we distort the traditional sketch comedy show into something that is both distasteful and delicious, lampooning whatever we can get our legs on.

ENTER LEGLAND Closes June 22nd 2024
