(SAN FRANCISCO, CA) — BDSM Musical to Premiere in San Francisco, Sacred Pain: The Heroine’s Journey
Performing arts group Sacred Pain will present their first show, ”Sacred Pain: The Heroine’s Journey,” September 12, 2009. The play is an ”edgy blend of musical theater and avant garde performance art–a mixed media performance of authentic BDSM content.”
The adults-only performance features SF Bay Area performers and musicians including the colorful and talented accordionist, Duckmandu, and rigging by world-renowned bondage expert Lew Rubens. The cast includes popular performers and models Jen Shae, Maya Paradox, Sasha Lexing, Eden Fairsea, Jay Smith and others.
The producer and writer, Jack Killough, is a former producer and member of the notorious San Francisco theater group the Cockettes. Killough said, ”We believe this is a first-of-a-kind performance that could only be conceived and presented in San Francisco; we’d probably be arrested for it anywhere else.”
The Heroine’s Journey is a two act musical, part drama and part parody, and presents the ”Damsels in Distress” story as its own ”Heroes’ Journey” as characterized by Joseph Campbell in his influential book, the Hero with a Thousand Faces. Future titles include ”Sacred Pain: Beauty Punished” and ”Sacred Pain: A Romance in Rope.” ”Our performances will feature live music and story-lines that inform spiritual and philosophical archetypes in straight faced parody of universal themes such as the damsel in distress and the action/adventure genre. In addition to great entertainment we hope to educate the public on the much misunderstood subject of BDSM,” says executive producer and lead singer, Maya Paradox.
The performance will be presented at Mama Calizo’s Voice Factory, next to the Center for Sex and Culture, 1519 Mission, San Francisco, September 12th, 9:00 PM. Tickets are available online from Brown Paper Tickets, www.brownpapertickets.com/event/78007. One night only!
