PORN

by András Visky

Fall 2012

Porn (1989. A butterfly.)

A warehouse on Chicago Avenue

by Andras Visky

translated by Ailisha O’Sullivan

directed by Eva Patko

featuring Melissa Lorraine, Ezra Colon, Evan Hill, and Stanley

Staged in a rat-infested warehouse in the Ukrainian Village, Porn marked the third Visky play staged by Theatre Y, inspired by his own life under communism.  An international collaboration with Hungarian/ Romanian director Eva Patko, the play was adapted from the then recently released secret files of the Romanian Communist dictatorship.  An actress, codename PORN, performs theater for street children—a very suspicious and irrational act to be sure, a woman needing to be contained.  A story about love at all cost, the fight to speak your mind in the face of censorship, Patko’s production featured live video surveillance; haunting images burned onto the surface of the fresh and fast moving staging: a straight jacket, briefcases, backroombureaucracy, an old man’s sunglasses, a piece of half-eaten fruit, and one small skeleton…Porn (1989. A butterfly.) tells the story of one woman’s lethal valor.  In the title role, Lorraine was named one of the stars of 2012 by the Chicago Reader.
