New York City, New York

A Thought About Raya brings to the New York stage the violent and darkly comedic spirit of Leningrad artist Daniil Kharms, whose idiosyncratic visions and nonlinear theatrical performances led to his arrest, imprisonment, and eventual death during Stalin's purges. In a series of colliding scenes, vibrant images and absurd turns frame this performance that is part fable, part dance, and part experience. The complex themes of love, sex, violence, and death pepper this simple story of the search for a voice in the midst of chaos.

A Thought About Raya will perform Thursdays through Saturdays, and Mondays @ 8pm and Sundays @ 4pm (no performances on April 4, 5, 11, and 12) at The Red Room (85 E. 4th Street between 2nd and 3rd avenues) from March 25 - April 19, 2004. All seats $15. For reservations, please call 212-352-3101 or visit www.theatermania.com. For group rates, please call 917-880-4105.
