Year of the Rooster

Impact Theatre at La Val's Subterranean 1834 Euclid Avenue, Berkeley, CA, United States

Odysseus Rex is having quite a year. Quite a part of a year, anyway - Odie’s only eight months old. But even at his young age, he’s mad as hell and wants to fight his way to the top. Did we mention Odie’s a rooster? Odie’s trainer, fast-food cashier Gil, has been raising Odie in a bid to return to the horrific world of cockfighting, his only chance to win at something in life. To get there, though, Gil and Odie have to survive Dickie the cockfight promoter, Gil’s mom, and Philipa, Gil’s young McDonald’s manager who’s got big dreams of her very own. A gut-busting yet poignant portrait of the price of ambition, this is the must-see show of the fall.

EarthChild Butoh

Subterranean Arthouse 2179 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA, United States

Earth Child: The body made out same material of our Earth. A light thread through the body from the center of the Earth toward to outer space. A flower starts blooming on your chest. By the fragrance of the flower, you wake up. On your innocent eyes, things are reflecting as your own self.
