Deception Unit
#CoHoSummerfest Week 5
by Portland Experimental Theatre Ensemble
July 13 – 16, 2017
Unreliable Narrator. Suffocating Subtext. Lies, all lies.
Kitchen sink realism is slowly suffocated with a pillow of subtext, and the narrative goes into witness protection. A fake Polish punk band takes over as the protagonist, but whoever’s been translating their lyrics is deeply unreliable. A celebration of false narratives and radical fraudulence, Deception Unit revels in the ways we’ve been fooling ourselves all along.

“…unapologetically experimental, technically sophisticated, and engaged with questions about what role theater can play in contemporary culture.” – Portland Mercury
