SUMMARY:Sad Boys in Harpy Land at Glitterbox Theater
DESCRIPTION:Sad Boys in Harpy Land at Glitterbox Theater \n“A THRILLING & FRENETIC MENTAL BREAKDOWN OF A SHOW” (NYT) \nEqual parts anxious clown show\, demented cabaret\, and extended crisis of meaning\, Sad Boys in Harpy Land collages narratives of art making and despair into an unhinged solo performance that takes place in the hellscape of the mind. \nAfter sold-out runs everywhere from Off-Broadway to multiple basements\, self-proclaimed “experimental clown artist” Alex Tatarsky brings their (dubiously) hit show Sad Boys in Harpy Land to The Glitterbox! Embracing the spiral\, the unfinished\, and the broken bits\, the piece attempts to move through the inaction born of anxiety\, shame\, and overwhelm towards strange & ecstatic modes of re-writing the world together. \nCreated & Performed by Alex Tatarsky \nLive Music by Shane Riley \nDirected by Iris McCloughan \nScenic\, Costumes\, Props Design by Andreea Mincic \nLighting Design by Masha Tsimring \nDeveloped with Eva Steinmetz \nCalled a “hilarious\, finely tuned absurdist” (Theatre Jones) and “outrageous and profane” (NYT)\, Alex Tatarsky makes performances in the uncomfortable in-between zone of comedy\, dance-theater\, performance art\, and deluded rant–sometimes with songs. Tatarsky experienced fleeting fame as Andy Kaufman’s daughter and used to perform as a mound of dirt. Playing with perceptions of language and narrative structure\, their live performances are highly responsive to venue and audience. They are currently touring their composting clown show Dirt Trip. Past shows include: Americana Psychobabble (La Mama\, MoMA PS1)\, Untitled Freakout (The Kitchen)\, MATERIAL (The Whitney Museum) and Buttplug Gnome (Gibney). At the Poetry Project\, they organized a series on the poetics of rot. @tartar.biz \nSad Boys in Harpy Land was commissioned by Abrons Arts Center through the Jerome Foundation AIRspace Residency Program. Playwrights Horizons\, Inc\, in New York City produced the NYC Off Broadway Premiere of Sad Boys in Harpy Land in 2023. Sad Boys in Harpy Land received development support through FringeArts\, the Jilline Ringle Solo Performance Program at 1812 Productions\, Poetry Electric at La Mama\, MAAS and Cannonball Festival. \nPhoto by Maria Baranova \n$15 Presale/$20 Door\nDoors open at 7pm

Delight in the dirt. Turn our shit into gold. For writing inspiration\, we will look to the compost heap and the garbage can. We consider the trash to be a museum of civilization. \nthis class is for:\nclowns and clown adjacent performers\nwriters who want to “write with the body” or “write on their feet”\nplayful people and curious people of all stripes! (who are down to wiggle around a bunch)\neveryone from total newbies to grizzled old freak is totally welcome \npeople should bring:\nclothes you feel comfortable moving in\na pen and paper/notebook\nan object — any regular old thing you have in your home or trash can or backpack or whatever) that gives you a strong FEELING of some kind (could be delight\, disgust\, anger\, ecstasy…) \n$60\n16 people max\nSunday January 25\, 11 am – 3 pm \n~Bio~ \nA “hilarious\, finely tuned absurdist” (Theatre Jones)\, Alex Tatarsky makes performances in the uncomfortable in-between zone of comedy\, dance-theater\, performance art\, and deluded rant–sometimes with songs.

They have given artist talks and lectures around the US and Canada at illustrious institutions including Harvard\, MIT\, The Canadian Centre for Architecture\, and The Clark Art Institute. While teaching\, Tatarsky draws upon their training at the Pig Iron School\, a 2-year Lecoq-based clown and devised theater program\, their past in literary and translation studies\, their scholarship in Performance Studies at NYU\, and ongoing study with various movement artists\, thinkers\, and co(s)mic freaks. \n\n\nDate & Time\nSun\, Jan 25\, 2026 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM \n\n\nVenue Details\nGlitterbox Theater \n210 W 8th Ave\nWest Homestead\, Pennsylvania 15120
