chelfitsch Comes to OtB
Tonight, internationally recognized Tokyo performance troupe chelfitsch arrive at On the Boards for five performances through Sunday, the latest installment in OtB's awesome Inter/National Series. chelfitsch (named for a child's inability to correctly pronounce "selfish") has been a celebrated company in Japan since its founding in 1997 by director Tashiki Osada. Relying on a mixture of interdisciplinary performance, anti-theatrical techniques, and an adoption of hipsterish mannerism and slang, Five Days in March tells the story of a young couple who spend most of week holed up in clubs and love hotels, while the American invasion of Iraq unfolds. Tickets are $24 and appear to be sold out for every night but tonight, attesting to OtB's thus far incredible season. Performances are at 8 p.m.
