Created by Founding Artistic Director David Herskovits and a cohort of artists, THIS IS REAL brings the transgressive spirit of Jean Genet to life for America in 2026.

Genet was a thief, drifter, prostitute, who wrote from prison; his work affronted convention and challenged audiences to question their own lives. THIS IS REAL asks Target Margin audiences to consider these degenerates anew. What is the beauty and wisdom of the outsider? Aren’t we, all of us, outsiders in our own ways?

Power, Sex, Revolution: This is Real.

Presented by Target Margin Theater.
