Created and performed by Alexandra Tatarsky, with direction by Eva Steinmetz[SIGN FELT] Sad Boys in Harpy Land is a pseudo-autobiography that is part sad clown, part nonsense freak-out, and part extended crisis of meaning. A savagely humorous collage of classic coming-of-age tales, the piece takes place in the hellscape of the mind, and asks how splintered thoughts yield insights into one’s own monstrosity.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
