“Hypnotically beautiful [with] a visual resonance that you find all too rarely on stage. . . . Exquisite intensity flows through much of what Castellucci calls his‘drama of movement.’ ”—Financial Times, London

Become enveloped in a stunning tour-de-force by Italy’s acclaimed director Romeo Castellucci. This unforgettable theater of the subconscious unfolds fascinating and frightening visual landscapes—equally profound, enigmatic, and dreamlike—that provoke the imagination and make the senses swirl. With raw architectural sets, surreal costuming, film projections, exploding glass, and riveting performances by two actresses (and 40 male performers), Hey Girl! constructs a world that alternates between the beautiful and the horrific. Note: Contains nudity and simulated violence.

Copresented with the University of Minnesota Department of Theatre Arts & Dance with additional support provided by the Institute for Advanced Study and the European Studies Consortium. Support provided by Mike Sweeney, and Roger Hale and Nor Hall.

Special thanks to the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Chicago for its collaboration.
