BLUE LAKE – What Are the Rules of Love?? You’re About to Find Out… Every. Single. One of You. Dell’Arte presents Red Bastard, the bouffon creation of Eric Davis, in LIE WITH ME in the Carlo Theater on February 14 & 15.
Beware! Critically acclaimed trickster, Red Bastard, guides you on this hilariously fun, ★★★★★ tilt-a-whirl of love, teetering on the tip of your moral highs and lows. A mischievous, mind-warping show for singles, couples and anyone who dares to adore.
Imagine a show so despicable, so embarrassing, so morally depraved- the only reason you would possibly watch it is…
It’s a show about you.
Love, Lust, Fear and Freedom await as America’s premier bouffon seduces with live music, shape-shifting burlesque, and a seduction so intimate, one audience member will leave sticky sweet. Prudes, Cheaters and Perverts —all are welcome— in this provocation of Love, Lies, and the Lies we tell about Love.
Do you dare?
★★★★★
“Hilarious and beautifully written… tantalizing…more than an act, it’s an experience—and a unique one at that.”

ABOUT BOUFFON
Bouffons are the more astute, darker version of the buoyant and foolish clown. While the audience laughs at the clown, the bouffon laughs at the audience. This grotesque style of performance is exciting, physical, hilarious and a little dangerous.
