THE KICK INSIDE is an exquisite corpse of a play written by thirteen New York City based playwrights. The story follows Alenka, a woman who grows awfully tired of the way that people talk to one another and begins experimenting with language in every scene of this one-and-a-half-act play. Visually rich and littered with strange phenomena, action sequences, dogs, algorithm possessions, hitmen and a world that speaks back, THE KICK INSIDE uncovers a lost city that tilts language to ask where words come from within us, and how deeply we transform each other’s emotional fabrics.
