Created by 2025 Obie Award-winning director David Herskovits and a cohort of artists, This is Real brings the transgressive spirit of Genet to life for America in 2026. This new work features Genet\u2019s obsessions: power, sex, and revolution.<\/p>\n<p>Genet was a thief, drifter, prostitute, who wrote from prison; his work affronted convention and challenged audiences to question their own lives. We admire Genet\u2019s unflinching honesty in confronting power. He does not judge. He is never prim or pious.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, Genet is committed to representing the outsiders of our world, the COUNTERCULTURE, MISFITS, LOSERS, and CRIMINALS. These are Genet\u2019s heroes.<\/p>\n<p>THIS IS REAL asks our audience to consider these degenerates anew. What is the beauty and wisdom of the outsider?
