This month's production of Unheimlich Theatre will be presenting the works of Charles Baudelaire featuring frank andrick, Todd Mann & Leslie Kramer and Sheri Adee and Gilberto Rodiguez In a combination of essay performance, poety reading and the uncanny theatrics and sounds of Gilberto and Sheri via the auspices of UnHeimlich Theatre.

FRANK ANDRICK -- aka francois drouin -- will present an performance /essay on the life, times, and works of the French poet Charles Baudelaire. It will conclude with an exposition of Baudelaires influence from his contemporaries, thru his influence upon modem art both literary and visual including Symbolism, Dada, Surrealism, the Beats Writers, Philip Lamantia, and now contemporary Sacramemto poets. The presentation will interpolate statement, poems and prose of Baudelaire and his 'echoes' of influence as it segues into sheer unadulterated performance UnHeimlich style of works by Baudelaire, Antonin Artaud, frank andrick, Henri Michaux, by ...
GILBERTO RODRIGUEZ: The man who has reintroduced the concept of Doppelganger into the life of Sacramento. This is a rare opportunity to watch frank andrick put his passion and facts where his mouth is. Maybe you'll laugh, perhaps you will cry and hopefully you will leave forever haunted by the unholy Doppelgangers of the Poetic Muses.

The evening begins with a reading /performance of Baudelaire Poetry presented by Todd Mann and Leslie Kramer working from various translations of the poet's poems and prose. Todd and Leslie are the poets and publishers who publish the poetry art journal Lit. Jar. A new fall issue of Lit. Jar will be available in September.

Sheri Adee, a master of atmospheres and soundscapes via Tibetan bowls, gongs, and multi-cuiti percussion instruments will be adding her unique interpretations of merging musics to the evening's performance.

Unheimlich unfolds as a weekly presentation of poetry as you've never seen or heard it before. Featuring Artaud & His Doppleganger and a rotating roster of special guests. Unheimlich Theater re-emerges from the Bardo state at The Book Collector to inseminate a new myth of Chaos, Anarchy, and Lucid Unreason. Unheimlich is here not to raise consciousness, but to release the tide of the Uncanny. To breakout the underside of Pandora's hoary box and release the likes of Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Poe, Hoffmann, Holderline, Michaux, and especially Antonin Artaud in order to undermine a society that has allowed psychology & technology to be on a first name basis with the creation of it's imperious culture. We invite you to the first performance of Antonin Artaud and His Dopplegangers.
