RESA FANTASTISKT MYSTISK purports to be a long-lost masterpiece by a bitter rival of 19th century playwright August Strindberg. In a parody of storied plays that one is expected to admire but that no longer work, RESA is full of stilted dialogue, cheesy symbolism and jokes that may just have been funny two hundred years ago. During the show, the audience wears headphones so that the Director/Translator can make sure they are “getting it”. As the actors inevitably disappoint, the commentary devolves into personal attacks until a supernatural visitation reveals exactly who is the one who is not “getting it”.
