Mathilde is DONE. She’s trapped in a love triangle with her dusty hubby ( the ‘father’ of atonality, Arnold Schönberg) & her young lover ( the painter, Richard Gerstl) who both keep threatening to hang themselves without her cunt. A refreshing, de-centered metatheatrical romp set in 1900’s Vienna with ladders, tarps, a tiny piano, and an opinionated chorus. A meticulously researched, wildly playful imagined history of those individuals beyond the frame of ‘Serious History’.
