Kiss my brick

Five pieces of contemporary American underground, heavy industrial beats and a desire to go beyond the imposed rules - this is how "Kiss my brick" begins.

"Kiss my brick": industrial catharsis and five stories

Instead of academic restraint and long monologues, "Kiss my brick" offers a rebellious mood and humor. The stories are united by a familiar desire to reject the demands that you no longer want to meet and feel freedom. The retro mood here coexists with heavy industrial beats, and the production itself picks up on the idea: if the system has already cracked, it's time to question its rules.

The performance is based on five plays:

• American Girl(s) - Abigail G. Uphoff.
• "Brick" - Azure D. Osborne-Lee.
• "Principal's Office" — Fernanda Coppel.
• "Morning Routine" — SMJ.
• "Let's Sit Down" - Haruna Lee.
