A play about a play\u2014and the artists who risked everything to tell it. Inspired by the true story of Sholem Asch\u2019s seminal Yiddish work,\u00a0<\/span>God of Vengeance<\/span><\/i>, and its infamous 1923 obscenity trial, INDECENT is a haunting, klezmer-infused play with music that traces the turbulent journey of a troupe determined to stage a work deemed \u201cindecent.\u201d As their story unfolds across continents and decades, so too does a powerful meditation on censorship, nationalism and the policing of queer love. At once tender and thunderously relevant, this breathtaking theatrical experience shines a light on the enduring struggle between artistic expression and societal control. In a moment when questions of whose stories are \u201cacceptable\u201d feel increasingly urgent, INDECENT invites us to bear witness to the courage of artists, the cost of silence and the unshakable power of theater itself.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Ntsiab lus<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n

    This play is about real-life artists who were committed to\u00a0sharing a\u00a0radical\u00a0play with the world, despite intense backlash and\u00a0legal\u00a0consequences.\u00a0In addition, they were facing existential threats with the rise of Nazism.\u00a0Despite all of this, many of those artists remained committed to the play. What is something that you care deeply about, whether\u00a0it\u00a0be\u00a0a work of art or something\u00a0different?\u00a0\u00a0What is something that you would\u00a0remain committed to, no matter what?<\/span><\/p>\n
