the second coming of klaus kinski
After an Encore Award-winning run at the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival, for which it was named “Best of the Fringe” by TVolution, KINSKI reopened for a 6-week, Ovation-NOMINATED run at The Blank’s Second Stage Theatre.
UPDATE (APRIL 2019): THE SECOND COMING OF KLAUS KINSKI PLAYED AT THE OREGON SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL IN ASHLAND AS A HEADLINE SPECIAL EVENT FOR THE ASHLAND INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL AFTER A NEW RUN AT THE PICO PLAYHOUSE.
Klaus Kinski is one of the most celebrated and controversial actors in the history of world cinema. Before his famed collaborations with director Werner Herzog, Klaus Kinski was a tortured B-movie character actor who had become a touring sensation for his live wire theatrical performances. It was during this time that Kinski wrote and starred in an audacious one-man show as Jesus Christ. Audiences were so outraged, they heckled him mercilessly. After only 2 performances Kinski canceled the tour.
It’s now 2019 and actor-writer Andrew Perez (David Miscavige in “My Scientology Movie”) does battle with Kinski’s demons in an effort to resurrect him and finish the job in one last command performance.
