Sad Boys in Harpy Land

Alexandra Tatarsky collages narratives of artmaking and despair into a semi-autobiographical tour-de-farce, as told by a young Jewish woman who thinks she is a small German boy who thinks he is a tree. Equal parts sad clown, demented cabaret, and extended crisis of meaning, this unhinged solo performance takes place in the hellscape of the mind.

Ikechukwu Ufomadu's Amusements, Alexandra Tatarsky's Sad Boys in Harpy Land, and Milo Cramer's School Pictures will be performed in rotation throughout November. 

Sad Boys in Harpy Land was commissioned by Abrons Arts Center through the Jerome Foundation AIRspace Residency Program with additional support from the Mertz Gilmore Foundation’s Late Stage Production Stipend. 

This show was developed through residencies at FringeArts (PA), The Kitchen (NY), the Jilline Ringle Solo Performance Program at 1812 Productions (PA), and Poetry Electric at La Mama ETC (NY).

Playwrights Horizons' season productions are generously supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
