ARTIST/COMPANY BIOGRAPHY
Founded in 2004 by a pair of UC-CCM design graduate students, HWT is at its core a group of young professional artists committed to presenting new works in innovative ways. HWT performed its inaugural show, Between the Water and the Air, at the 2005 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. With 4 stars from ScotsGay Magazine, it was heralded as "an evocative production from a talented company." The show was remounted at the 2006 Cincy Fringe where, with HWT embracing the idea that theatre can and should happen anywhere, it became known as "the show in the stairwell." Hunger Warrior Theatre's current focus is its Pop-Mythology Project, the adaptation of ancient mythologies through a contemporary lens. Anna the Slut is the project's first installment.

'AND THE FRINGIEST PART IS ...'
It's not often that one gets to present Sumerian Mythology to the public. More than that, the show is a combination of a number of disciplines: poetry, music, puppetry, comedy. It is the sort of theatrical spectacle that only happens at the Fringe.

Anna the Goddess of Sex. Plastic painted with acrylic. Inspired by the Syroco statues of the 1940s, Anna the Goddess of Sex stands 5" tall and carries a silver-painted sword and shield. The sculpted, flawless hair was used for seduction in ancient rituals. This artifact was originally likened to Prince Valiant (note etching at bottom of statue), but was recently corrected and reaccessioned to the Collection thanks to the keen observation of J. Stein of Cincinnati, Ohio. 2008.01. |
