The Underground Man is a new solo project performed by Adam Pierzchalski and directed by Lawrence Strangio (Green Room winner), presented by Rah Rah productions. It is supported by TRI and is in development stage for touring in 2011. The show is essentially an interpretation( not adaptation ) of the main character from Fydor Dostoevsky's"Notes for Underground". The Underground Man is a tragic inversion of man’s legitimate quest for self expression, self mastery and self determination. It is a subversive world created by the Underground Man that draws the audience into his prophecies of paradox, about what it means to be honest with oneself, to be human or to be a mouse. The work overlays multiple stimuli of sound, text and physicality to create an experience likened to an intensity that is unmatched or difficult to encounter elsewhere, " it's like Ayn Rand or Oscar Wilde on steroids" blended with an astonishing performance from acclaimed actor - Adam Perzchalski ( Rah Rah, Red Stitch, Melbourne Workers Theatre, 5 Angry Men, Teatr Biuro Podrozy).
