A one-woman cabaret by Rebecca Nagle

Friday, January 15, 8 p.m.

Baltimore-based performing artist Rebecca Nagle mixes burlesque routines, contortionist yoga poses, rhyming verse, ritualized confession, science experiments and audience participation in “A Dozen Things I Want To Do On Stage,” a one-woman show that recalls the political European cabarets of the 1920s. Nagle’s Dozen plays with the familiar themes and tropes of the human condition—sex, violence, love, tragedy, fantasy, history and death—to deliver the hard truths, half-truths and straight up lies about the artist and almost everyone else in the room. Before your very eyes, Rebecca Nagle will undress to the song “Wenn Ich Mir Was Wünschen Dürfte,” squeeze herself into a small box, reveal your innermost secrets, discuss why something is racist, fall instantaneously in love, read her own fantasies aloud, act your fantasies out for you, induce a terrible tragedy, fall down, subject herself to interrogation under the influence of truth serum, tell a tall tale, and eventually disembowel herself to the beat of your unbridled applause.

NOTE: “A Dozen Things I Want To Do On Stage” contains material that may be of a sensitive nature to some people, including nudity, strong language, political discourse and graphic violence.
