Based on the true story of Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Last of the Red-Hot Dadas is a one-woman play performed by Christina Augello. The clown-like Baroness is in New York reflecting upon her life travels, art, relationships and the price for telling the truth. Watching this production without any prior knowledge of the Dadaist movement—the early 20th-century Zurich-based nihilist anti-art philosophy—could be trying. But Augello pulls off a charismatic and professional performance with intriguing use of props and such found-object art as a wire crown adorned with dildos. Venue 4, 4247 St-Dominique. » Amy German
