Calamitous carny, Samson Y Hiss, the award-winning composer and record-holding one-man band, brings his psychotic ooze of opera, silhouettes and circus to The Great Star Theater in San Francisco, CA. The theatrical experience features an original story, operatic vocals, circus performers, stunt artists, overhead projector and silhouettes and a live band.
Patient 51 escapes an insane asylum, falls headfirst into a traveling carnival and flees across the desert from the authorities—a wake of vultures. Patient 51, a newly committed anarchist, endures experimental shock “therapy.” There's Manhattan, the militant head nurse who turns patients into guinea pigs. And Joplin, the carnival fairy and fearful employee of a traveling sideshow. Carnival of Psychos isn't a place, but a theatrical escape hatch into terror and lunacy.
All ages. Doors 7:30 PM. Show 8:00 PM. No intermission.
