FUCKED AND JOLLY:
Ten Years of The Exponential Festival

Published by 53rd State Press​

Ed. Nic Adams, introduction by Theresa Buchheister

$18

Fucked and Jolly is a reflective compendium of artist-to-artist interviews commemorating a boffo decade of The Exponential Festival. Squinny at the banters between playwrights, choreographers, and clowns as they encounter one another’s work and discuss prevailing trends of performance in the new millennium, the radical experiments being conducted to bring online onstage (and vice versa), and the post-Downtown performing arts ecosystem. A missive from the still-grinding heart of the contemporary performance community.
