This play is a reflection on the (im)possibility of accepting diversity and the other. The fragmented body of the neoplasm—the fruit of unstable conditions—overcomes barriers, loves and denies itself and others, wanders around, forgetting its profession. It frequently and with pleasure divides, goes through dangerous palpation, questions the possibility of contact with the experience of the other. Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

Using the tools of his trade—mannequins, period furniture, clothing, found objects, and theatrical props—here Ferrucci has created a faux-living tableau inspired by the band R.E.M.’s song, “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine).” Inspired by the imagined history of the third floor room in the Mattress Factory, Ferrucci constructed a Surrealist harem’s boudoir consisting of three female mannequins attired in black (including black stockings and garters, a rhinestone-collared dress, and an Arabesque veil) and engaged in various questionable activities. The suggestive and dark installation intrudes aggressively into the center of the gallery, its protagonists arrested in foreboding gestures. Curated by Heather Pesanti
