An unseated performance with “eye-popping high-wire feats, roller derby smack-downs, big-track earthmovers, brass band music and scenes of a spectacular nature” that takes place inside the long-abandoned Uline Arena/Washington Coliseum and celebrates one of the city’s most fantastically named neighborhoods? Where do we sign up?

Not sold yet? Here’s a tantalizing teaser regarding the The Performance Corporation/Solas Nua production sent to us by NoMa Business Improvement District:

What is Swampoodle? Is it a rundown part of town where the Beatles sang and the girls screamed? An underground ghetto where the Irish fought and died? A beat-up urban Cathedral where Malcolm X lectured the Nazis and Nureyev danced? There’s only one way to find out!

+1, indeed.

Now, you can imagine our disappointment when Monkeyrotica was not listed among the authors of the production. Though if there was ever a piece of theater that just seems like it was specifically tailored for the DCist commentariat, this has to be it. Go get your tickets already.
