Diverse theatre
group tackles race
Badass Theatre Company presents a lim
ited engagement of the most dynamic pro­
duction of last year’s theatrical season, “In-
vasion!” The play was named Best Produc­
tion of 2013 by the Willamette Week.
Written by Jonas Hassen Khemiri and
translated by Rachel Willson-Broyles, Inva­
sion is an uproarious tornado o f words,
images and ideas, all centered around a magi­
cal name: Abulkasem.
The play assaults our deepest prejudices
about identity, race and language. At once
hilarious, unsettling and poignant, this deeply
subversive play deconstructs a threatening
identity - the Arabic male - and forces us to
confront our own cultural identity.
The play runs Wednesday, June 11 through
June 27 with the official opening on Friday,
June 13 at Milagro Theatre. 525 S.E. Stark St.
Tickets are $15 for students and $20 for
general admission. Visit badasstheatre.org
or503-358-4660.
Badass Theatre Company is on a mission
to keep theatre accessible for all. The group
was founded in 2011 by a group of Portland’s
most talented and diverse theatre artists who
wanted to inspire and diversify the land­
scape of Portland theatre.
