King Cat Calico Finally Flies Free!

by Aaron Henne
directed by Edgar Landa

 

Heidi Hendrickson has an obsession, a compulsion really - she has 150 cats in her eleven hundred square foot apartment, including sixty dead ones in the Frigidare. She has an especially intimate relationship with the alpha cat, one King Cat Calico who keeps trying to escape this hellish tuna filled, feces stained prison, to no avail.

KING CAT CALICO FINALLY FLIES FREE! is a fun filled exploration of loneliness, possession and the need to claim one's place in this uncertain world. Featuring a cameo by Rush Limbaugh, singing(literally) the praises of Oxy-Contin, or what he lovingly refers to as his "little blues."

Note: running time is 90 minutes. no intermission

BONUS: On Fridays & Saturdays (after KING CAT) SOSE hosts Elke Luyten performing her corporeal mime solo performance piece "Here Is Someone". "Here Is Someone" integrates richly detailed movement scores with text from Antonin Artaud and music by Charles Ives. This special presentation begins at 10pm and patrons are invited to stay free of charge. Running time for "Here Is Someone" is 20 minutes.
