The Tropic of X is the story of Maura and Mori, two street kid lovers and arcade freaks who live in a touristed wasteland at the end of the alphabet.
They and their friend Kiki take refuge: in each other, in taunting tourists, in the next distraction, and in the chase of a consumerist dream, a numbing high, as they rage, seduce, and barter to survive the roaring tides of a place on the edge of collapse.
“The Tropic of X is a big and bold swing by Imago Theatre...”
“Spectacular set, engaging performances. . . Poetically written.”
“The moment the show started until the actors took their final bows, I had no hope of pulling my eyes away...The story is portrayed by five amazingly skilled and talented actors”
