Sex & Censorship
|
The Penny Arcade Sex & Censorship Show has been an international touring sensation for 30 years, influencing generations of artists and audiences alike in 30 cities around the world.
Rooted in Penny Arcade‘s trademark warmth, comedy, and political humanism, with razor-sharp satire and an uplifting audience dance break with the best erotic dancers from 3 continents, the show is evergreen, a timeless and passionate rock n’ roll anthem that celebrates our First Amendment Rights. The work is a powerful plea for love, tolerance and coalition. This freedom of speech anthem boldly takes on sexual liberation with fierce wisdom. No topic is taboo—sex, politics, AIDS, pornography, religion and censorship. Originally created as a brilliant retort to the Senator Helms NEA Censorship Crisis of 1990, The Penny Arcade Sex & Censorship Show is now a timeless and passionate rock n’ roll anthem celebrating free speech and political provocation for our times. This world-famous show is among the most exuberant performances to ever emerge from New York’s East Village. Running Time: 90 Minutes + pre-show go-go dancing 30 mins prior. "If there is an underlying thematic in all of Arcade’s work, it is perhaps this concern to advocate the full expression of our “life force”—creative, sexual, physically and verbally expressive—and to speak out against those societal and political forces that would repress such energizing self-realization." – Stephen Bottoms, University of Leeds, U.K. |
