HOLE: a new show by the SF Neo-Futurists at San Francisco – San Francisco, CA

The SF Neo-Futurists invite you to a brand-new, full-length show HOLE in which we will dig a big hole in the ground (yes, really).

HOLE is an experimental theater piece by Amy Langer and Bahaar Taj in collaboration with the SF Neo-Futurists. Set outdoors at the beach, HOLE is a site-specific play that revolves around the act of literally digging a large hole in the ground, moving through themes of obsession, identity, community, kindness, and the strange persistence of compulsive digging in pop culture. A play without a fourth wall (or, in fact, any walls), HOLE asks the audience: What needs to be done for you to take up the shovel?

Named one of “22 San Francisco things everyone must do” by the SF Chronicle for their flagship show The Infinite Wrench, the SF Neo-Futurists have been performing an ever-changing roster of 30 original plays in 60 minutes every Friday and Saturday for twelve years, premiering over 4,000 short plays since their founding in 2013. With HOLE, the company expands beyond the microplay format to bring their unique non-illusory aesthetic to the outdoors with a full-length hour-long play. HOLE embraces and extends the Neo-Futurist aesthetic principles of immediacy, authenticity, and making the stage into an extension of daily life. Performers will play themselves, not characters; the show’s outdoor setting will be acknowledged and incorporated into the show; and the audience will be called upon to be active participants with voices of their own.
