A farcical exploration of language and gender, 鈥淎 Walrus in the Body of a Crocodile鈥 transcends worlds through absurdity when strangers on a train, a surreal support group and a frat party collide. After all, who needs sense when you have a walrus in the body of a crocodile?
In “A Walrus in the Body of a Crocodile,鈥聽Kaufman uses poetic dialogue and wild, often hilarious moments to challenge the roles society imposes on us while asking deeper questions about how we define ourselves. Director Daniella Caggiano explains: “There’s a moment in the play when a character says, ‘When you don’t make a choice about who you are, the world makes it for you.’ I’m hoping 鈥榃alrus鈥 will remind audiences that gender isn’t just something that gets assigned to you, it is something we can consider and create and personalize to make it truly our own.”
A whimsically humorous exploration of identity, desire and the limitations of language, 鈥淎 Walrus in the Body of a Crocodile鈥 is an innovative and mind-bending play that will set the stage a buzz at the Storch Theater.
The cast includes Jude Chong, Maya Landry,聽G.B. Bellamy,聽Hazel Kinnersley,聽Mallika Cadin and聽 Harrison Wei (understudy).
