An anonymous, shambling creature is your guide in this comedy meditation on failure and resilience, written and performed by Mary McCool, and directed by Jack Tamburri. Weaving crowd work, chaos magic, and live digital vocal effects, STRESS EXORCIST brings the audience to a vital new kind of healing. Through a series of rituals, koans, and games, obstacles are lifted. Being your dark side makes magic possible. Ridiculous and meaningful, Mary McCool delivers a monster-drag solo spectacle of virtuosity in a comedy rite that will literally change your life.
This one-of-a-kind character was developed by Mary McCool in a FringeArts residency, the Dael Orlandersmith residency at the Kimmel Center, and the Jilline Solo Performance Program at 1812 Productions.
