ON THE FRINGE: Smiley

POSTED: Monday, September 5, 2011, 11:40 AM

None of my friends wanted to join me for Smiley, which promised “emotional pornography” because the show featured “audience participation.” They needn’t have worried — the audience, who sat on antique chairs and couches, were required to do little more than give their name and occupation, and do some deep breathing. Most of this intimate four-actor showcase about intimacy and communication featured the quartet of actors talking about enemas and fisting and golden showers, or acting as an animal in heat. Not particularly stimulating stuff — at time it bordered on boring — but the show did boast standout performances from Hilla Ben Gera and Ori Laizerouvich.

Through Sept. 7, $15, Media Bureau 725 N. Fourth St. MORE INFO HERE.
