The Object Lesson

The Object Lesson

Kirk Douglas Theatre
9820 Washington Blvd. Culver City

With boxes stacked to the ceiling, actor-illusionist-inventor Geoff Sobelle (all wear bowlers, Elephant Room) returns to the Culver City's Kirk Douglas Theatre and transforms the space into an epic storage facility of gargantuan proportions. The Object Lesson lets you roam and poke through Sobelle's personal clutter, making your way through an immersive theatrical installation that unpacks our relationship to everyday objects. It's a tactile performance piece that The New York Times calls "ruefully, comically sentimental" and The Guardian declares "hugely enjoyable" and "highly intelligent." Hilarious and heartbreaking, The Object Lesson is a meditation on the stuff we cling to and the crap we leave behind. Wander into the world of things Sobelle has spent his life breaking, buying, finding, fixing and getting buried under.
