Deviants

premiered at the soap factory, part of The MN Fringe Festival
August 1-10, 2008

DEVIANTS will showcase the Set’s trademark idiosyncratic, highly physical, morphing of dance and theater while exploring one of the more basic but agonizing of human emotions: desire. Performed by Live Action Set co-founders Vanessa Voskuil, Megan Odell, Galen Treuer, and Noah Bremer, DEVIANTS tells the story of four individuals who become seduced by their transgressive desires and engage behaviors that conventional society does not want to see but can’t ignore. Originally inspired by the Amish schoolhouse shootings in 2006, DEVIANTS looks inside the human psyche and investigates, with humor and poignancy, the intersections between revelation, repression and expression.

Program Notes
