01 / ABOUT US
LESS TALK, MORE ROCK.
Live Animals Onstage! is a Brooklyn-based DIY experimental immersive theater company. Our practice is rooted in deconstructing text, community building, and spectacle. Our characteristic style includes a party environment, participatory, site-specific elements, and poor theatre technology.

DECAPITATRIX
This summer, Live Animals Onstage! goes WILDE! In a not-so-distant future, a crime lord and his stepdaughter have a domestic dispute over possession of a cult leader they've been keeping locked in their basement. Sound complicated enough? Equal parts biblical fever dream, family drama, warehouse rave, and ritual sacrifice, DECAPITATRIX is a decadent new adaptation of Oscar Wilde's Salomé set in the seedy techno club of your nightmares. Drawing on Wilde's scandalous exploration of eroticism, religious ecstasy, and transgressive desire, Live Animals Onstage! stages a perverse ritual communion with the divine in a sterile industrial world oscillating between stoicism and decadence. Dark, mystical, funny, and unapologetically excessive, DECAPITATRIX asks whether sensuality is a road to damnation -- or whether desire itself might be revolutionary.

WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
Live Animals Onstage turned Edward Albee’s marital warzone into an intimate backyard dinner party: courses served, drinks poured, guests seated close enough to feel every toast curdle.
