“[Castellucci’s] pieces are ruthless and demand that you approach them in a state of wonder. You get out in direct proportion to what you put in.”

Cut out your tongue.

If you missed the thought-provoking 2013 Fringe Festival hit On the Concept of the Face Regarding the Son of God, you’ve got a second chance to experience one of the world’s most intensely provocative theater makers at work. Inspired by Mark Rothko’s refusal to complete commissioned work in New York’s Four Seasons restaurant, internationally acclaimed Italian experimental theater maker Romeo Castellucci and his company Societas Raffaello Sanzio return to Philadelphia to present The Four Seasons Restaurant, a highly stylized, visually stunning exploration of absence, negation, and solitude. “His pieces are ruthless and demand that you approach them in a state of wonder. You get out in direct proportion to what you put in” (CultureBot).

Previous Festival show: On the concept of the face, regarding the Son of God (2013).
