Nebraska Wesleyan University presents “The Gas Heart”

Loading Events

Written in response to the political unrest that followed World War I, The Gas Heart is one of the most famous avant-garde plays ever performed. A hallmark of Europe’s Dadaist movement, the play can be viewed as a parody of classical drama or a passionate love story. Watch fascinating characters, each representing a facial feature, grapple with how to relate to each other in a world where language has failed.
