“If a show in Bushwick celebrating the camp and desolation of Reagan’s 1980′s by way of Wagner sounds like a hipster mashup worthy of ironic T-shirts, think again. Performance Lab 115′s production of “The Ring Cycle (Parts 1 and 2)” uses ’80′s wrestling as the lightning rod through which to channel the epic deities of Wagner’s “Ring” cycle with a sense of unadulterated fun.” Read the full article »

Only 3 performances left — this Thursday, Friday and Saturday — 8PM at The Bushwick Starr.

Tickets available at Brown Paper Tickets.

I’ll give you a hint… it’s awesome:

“This cheeky adaptation, by Dave Dalton, Jeremy Beck and the company, addresses Wagner’s agenda with remarkable sensitivity and insight.

…

The final scene, in which Wotan condemns his beloved daughter, the brassy tomboy Brünnhilde (Sara Buffamanti), transcends cheeky parody to achieve a genuinely haunting potency.”

- Carol Cooper, The Village Voice

“Dipping from two pools of unlikely source material, The Ring Cycle (Part 1 and 2) gets it right, and like a deep fried snickers bar, it is unexpectedly delicious.”

- Julia Furlan, Culturebot

“An ambitious, potentially sacrilegious and extremely rewarding adventure in creative adaptation.”

- Benjamin Sutton, The L Magazine

“Parts 1 and 2 are so brilliantly conceived I’m anxious to see what they’ll do with Siegfried and Twilight of the Gods.”

- Lynn Berg, nytheatre.com

The Ring Cycle (Parts 1+2) plays October 7-30 at The Bushwick Starr.

Tickets available online.

(They’re $15.  Not $1,400.  And our Bridge to Valhalla works just fine, unlike some others we might name…)
