| Program Stephen Rappaport at Le Petit Festival du Théâtre 2008 MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART Written and performed by Stephen Rappaport Directed by Hope Alexander Willis MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART is an honest and courageous look at man´s inherent fear of intimacy and commitment. "Brilliant, original and riotously funny," it is, at the same time, a sober and candid illumination of the contemporary male psyche. "It's the dreamiest, sexiest, scariest date that never happened." "He make us laugh when he wants to...hypnotized, we are caught in the flood of his fantasy that seems endless." Dagens Nyheter, Daniel Anderson "...exquisitely revelatory... a blisteringly funny, hypnotically wild wrestle with the male ego." Robert Hurwitt, S.F. Examiner "Rappaport is a virtuoso at expressing all things human." Joe Adcock Seattle Post-Intelligencer "A must see show...perceptive observations of human nature are matched only by his seductive stage presence." Barbara Crook, The Vancouver Sun. "...one of the most exhilarating artists I've encountered...erotic... fresh...alive. All who see this show will be encouraged to open their hearts and bodies to freedom and possibility." Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight. "...amazing physicality...the seductiveness of an uncoiling snake...an honor to bestow." A. E. White, DB Magazine, Adelaide Australia "Hilarious...undeniably brilliant...don't miss it." The Vancouver Courier "...a tremendously physical, sensual actor...the presence and timing of a great stand-up comic." Alastair Mabbott, The List Glasgow/Edinburgh "...entertaining wild fantasy...precise...edgy...engrossing." The Globe and Mail. "Great script, mesmerizing performance...astonishing honesty and pure skill. The dreamiest, sexiest, scariest date that never happened." The Kitsilano News "His talent and intelligence combined with razor sharp wit and timing make this one of the most hilarious performances of the year." D. Niedermayer, Fringe Review |
