Synopsis:
Lauded by critics as “Samuel Beckett meets Cirque du Soleil with a dash of Monty Python,” this irreverent comedy spirals through explosive choreography, unexpected humor, and raw emotional shifts. Generic Male, a multi-award-winning Off-Broadway show, comes to Geva as a chaotic meditation about our constant need to perform — on stage, offstage, as ourselves, and as other people. It asks what it means to take up space in a world that’s falling apart around us. Told through PUSH Physical Theatre’s trademark intense athleticism, gravity-defying acrobatics, and soulful artistry, it centers around four characters — Generic Male 1, Generic Male 2, Generic Male 3, and a Stage Manager — as they audaciously attempt to create the greatest piece of theatre of the 21st century.
Winner of the “International Fringe Encore Series,” and a myriad of other awards including “Critics Choice Best Show,” “Outstanding Production,” and multiple “Best of Fests,” it has toured regularly across the U.S. as well as internationally.
PUSH Physical Theatre, hailed as one of the great physical theatre companies in the world and the preeminent name in U.S. physical theatre, returns to Rochester with its unforgettable smash hit. Learn more about PUSH here.
