A DEMONIC MAESTRO- (RED BASTARD) FULFILLS THE PRIMAL, ALMOST RELIGIOUS , RITUAL FUNCTION OF THEATER- CULTUREBOT

It felt like Red Bastard fulfilled the primal, almost religious, ritual function of theater
– to bring people together, to enter into “sacred” (or at least non-normal) space and be transformed. He led us down this crazy, twisting, hilarious and terrifying path of self-discovery in a group setting that felt out of control and yet completely structured. It was truly visceral, harrowing and hilarious. The final 1/4 of the show was, dare I say, Shamanic in a psychotherapeutic way, as Red Bastard continually pushed the audience’s psychological buttons, creating a tangible tension in the room and a genuine sense of chaos and frightening possibility. For his penultimate bit he encouraged the audience...
– the room broke into pandemonium.
