"The Beast of Times" is the newest play by award-winning performance artist Adelina Anthony, with a contributed monologue performed by Sri Lankan-American transgender performance artist, D'Lo.
"Beast" is a satircal and queer allegory that explores the contradictions in a world where environmental and ethnic diversity are under siege. The play follows the story of two people at odds with each other - one passionate about joining "the movement" and the other satisfied with her creature comforts.
Highly entertaining and funny, "Beast" examines some of the biggest issues of our times from the perspective of our least-heard neighbors - the animal kingdom. It's like an episode of Portlandia meets the animals from The Far Side cartoons, but with sexy, queer-people-of-color politics!
