The Ontological Cowboy
Direct naar zijbalk
Theatre is about sex. At least according to Richard Foreman, the father of the Ontological Hysterical Theatre. The Ontological Cowboy documents Foreman’s invocation of the ‘manifest destiny’ of avant-garde theatre, King Cowboy Rufus strolling down San Juan Hill with a sigh, waving his handkerchief. Foreman plays himself and the cast pantomimes his preoccupations. If the cast and crew suffer alike, it is all for a good cause: the violent rebirth of American theatre, with Foreman as its midwife.
