A collection of hilarious theatrical shorts about and by - Russians presented by the Performing Arts Department of UL-Lafayette!

The absurd takes center stage in this collection of short plays by influential comedy writers Daniil Kharms and David Ives.

Come explore the softer side of life behind the iron curtain, comrade. Show runs less than an hour and costs only 30 Roubles and a Kopek! (That's $10 of your American dollars).

Wanderlust is hosting Slamdango!, a two-night event featuring local and regional puppeteers gathered to present innovative and provocative short-form puppet and object theatre to an adult audience. This is an inaugural slam and has been accepted as an event within Festival International de Louisiane. Slamdango! is also a part of the national Puppet Slam Network, spearheaded by Heather Henson’s IBEX Puppetry.

In addition to providing a forum for puppeteers, Wanderlust hopes that it will reignite an audience interest and appreciation for puppetry geared toward adults. For mature audiences only.


This is the fifth production in Wanderlust's 2012-13 season that has included We All Do, You’ve Got Hate Mail, and The Monster Tales.
