Burnt Toast
In recent years, the Skirball Center has become New York's top landing zone for Europe's most outré avant garde theater and dance. This production, the U.S. debut of the Oslo company Susie Wang, continues that tradition with Trine Falch's creepy and surreal horror-comedy thriller, set in American hotel lobby and rendered in a style that might be described as extreme Southern Gothic. Among the attractions are blood, dismemberment, cannibalism and a briefcase stuffed with a mother's remains. Susie Wang is only here for a week, so you have just five chances to see this—if you dare.
