About: 

An Asylum in decay collaged by a pig-faced bellhop into sickly, dreamlike “Hotel California”- a Southern Californian institutional nightmare where "you can check out any time you like but you can never leave.” The production interrogates the coercive power structures that govern our lives, our complicity with them, and how, if possible, we can escape. Inspired by Dada art, this production collages together our loss of innocence, fetish with power, and our hope to overcome it all.
