Go to Sleep, Goddamnit!, by The Krumple Theater Company at The Tank Theater, is a rare theatrical spectacle: Mask Theater which communicates with grotesque masks blowing up human features (you’ve never in your life seen less attractive faces), and one terrific dog, plus body language, comic walks, no spoken words, music punctuating everything, sound effects, noisy props, bells and whistles. It’s silent acting by a physically-trained, flexible troupe, but not really Mime— Mime uses no real props—we mime them. There are church references—a priest figure, nuns, a golden statue of Jesus, Noah’s Ark in miniature.
It’s a totally engrossing show by these students of the mask maven Jacques Lecoq, and it will take you on a very entertaining trip.
