3. To Get There… You Must Undergo… A Radical… Transformation
Crashbox (Austin)
Performances November 10 – 19, 2023
From Andie Flores:
“This November, Austin-based writer and performer Andie Flores (she/her, b. 1990) directs and stars in To Get There… You Must Undergo… A Radical… Transformation…, a new stage show about a clown who, at the head of a year-long depression, falls asleep watching The Wizard of Oz. Stuck inside a twisted, Oz-like version of her dream, the clown must confront all the things she thinks might get her to the other side of her misery. Can she learn to love the parts of herself she hates or is the solution to become an entirely different self altogether? The story follows Flores as the clown with drag artist Arinna (she/they) as the clown’s idealized self.”
