The Neo-Futurists have brought back The Infinite Wrench (formerly known as Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind which ended in 2016). Thrilling performances are currently running down town through December 9th. This mind blowing show is a montage of thirty, two minute plays, all performed over a duration of sixty minutes. Each ensemble member in the show will also only be playing themselves onstage. Each audience member will walk away having seen an entirely different show from the last.
Being a highly experimental theatre, the Neo-Futurists strive to reach those who haven’t connected to conventional theatre. Their mission states a belief of “Theater that is a fusion of sport, poetry, and living-newspaper”. The Neo-Futurists are in the now. They tend to even bring an absurdist approach to their material, breaking the social norm.
Not to be confused or expected to find this show comedic from beginning to end, Kieth Ecker, who reviewed a performance during the run of Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, explains: “The aim of the Neo-Futurists isn’t to showcase a series of knee-slapping sketches. It’s pure artistic expression, a sort of mental and emotional purging for the performers that, quite often, resonates in some way with the audience”. No matter what walk of life you come from, there is something for everybody to take away.
