𝐇𝐎𝐓 𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐘 𝐒𝐍𝐀𝐊𝐄 is a new large-scale performance by Atomic Vaudeville that begins as a party and accidentally becomes a school.
Run by a group of unruly Crones, the institution offers no curriculum, no clear authority and no promise of improvement. What it does offer are lessons delivered through clown, music, dance, interruption and mistakes that arrive too early, too late, or not at all.
Students seek direction. Systems demand efficiency. The Crones insist on timing, pause and consequence. As expectations unravel, the work exposes the absurdity of mastery, the danger of optimization, and the strange pleasure of staying present through chaos.
Funny, volatile, and occasionally tender, 𝐇𝐎𝐓 𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐘 𝐒𝐍𝐀𝐊𝐄 refuses heroic arcs in favour of collective risk, shared confusion and moments of explosive joy.
