Performance Space 122 Presents Neal Medlyn's UNPRONOUNCEABLE SYMBOL WORLD PREMIERE
"A quirky and appealing performer" -Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
"A performer of slinky, daring intensity!" - Gia Kourlas, Time Out NY
"A Stream fo consciousness strip tease...like Jim Carrey on caffeine, being electrocuted" - National Public Radio
NEAL MEDLYN'S UNPRONOUNCEABLE SYMBOL is Neal Medlyn's fourth and largest to date pop song tragic-comedic extravaganza. Following the success of his Lionel Richie Opera, R. Kelly cabaret, and wild and bloody spin on Phil Collins, Medlyn takes on the purple, hyper-sexualized world of Prince.
Set to many of Prince's biggest hits and infamous b-sides, all performed onstage by a live band, Neal plays out an evening of seduction and intense internal spiritual conflict between two characters: an engaged cab driver and a messianic libertine. Jealousy, band troubles, violence, death, a dream ballet, decent into hell and the eventual transubstantiation of body fluids and redemption all find their place in an operatic and overblown evening of androgynous musical entertainment.
