GALATEA 2.0

GALATEA 2.0 is a modern speculation on the Pygmalion myth and a deconstruction of the muse/artist relationship that merges Mrs. Patrick Campbell/George Bernard Shaw, found text, incel culture, lots of blue Gatorade, puppetry, plinths and a very old Pekinese. The show chronicles Eliza, a sex worker hired by a disaffected young man to role play as a top of the line "love doll" when his own doll mysteriously breaks.

Written by Sophie Dushko and directed by C.C. Kellogg, the production features Meg MacCary as Mrs. Pat and Vincent Santvoord as Henry/Shaw/Pygmalion. Izabel Mar and Violet Savage will share the dual roles of Galatea and Eliza—love doll and human woman—for which they will flip a coin on stage directly before each show, determining which part each actor will embody during that particular performance. This world premiere is co-presented by Invulnerable Nothings and Brooklyn Art Haus.
