Belly Dream Real
a play
Chaos, Upheaval, Commotion, Grotesque Licking.
ALL of these elements will be witnessed at the performance of BELLY DREAM REAL. A short, dynamic piece of misunderstandings and discoveries, Janie, joined by her cohort, Mr. Puppet, meet and deal with a swarm of mothers trying to stick their tongues in Janie's belly button.
"I could watch this for 6 1/2 hours!"
During the play Janie finds the person who wholly understands her only to realize her grave misunderstanding of her own perceptions. Based on a dream i had about my mother trying to stick her tongue in my belly button, Belly Dream Real seeks a path to this uncanny experience.
Belly Dream Real runs 35 minutes
