THE UNDERCITY by Gaby FeBland Directed by Sammy Zeisel June 3 - 13, 2027 World premiere in association with LaMaMa Experimental Theatre Club A revolution is happening underground! In the metropolis of rats beneath our feet—a 1970s New York-inspired neon underworld lit by a perpetual crescent moon—our hero, Rat Girl, uncovers a vast conspiracy that threatens the fate of her world. Delight in this nonverbal rat puppet pageant about overthrowing a crumbling empire on the verge of ecological collapse, embodied through a mix of body puppetry, tabletop rod puppetry, overhead projector shadow puppetry, and mask. The Undercity navigates unchecked greed, climate catastrophe, and the engineered hopelessness of industrial life—a gnarly web of rat tails only Rat Girl can untangle. Show more
