ScareHouse Podcast 112: Macabre Noir, Aaron Doctor Morose, and The Mad Muse Lori Howsare Discuss Wearing Your Weird on the Outside and Atrocity Exhibition IX

Sorgatron Media — Sun, 07 May 2017 22:00:00 -0400

The award winning Atrocity Exhibition’s ninth performance will take you to hell. Katie “Dudders” caught up with Macabre Noir, Aaron Doctor Morose, and Lori Howsare “The Mad Muse” at Atrocity’s command center, aka Macabre’s living room. They talk about the creative process, theater theory, and Atrocity Exhibition IX: Inferno.

Lori credits her theater education and experience for her ability to be such a successful stage manager
Macabre and Aaron Doctor Morose discuss how the Atrocity Exhibition grew and matured with each new member that joined the family
Through increased expectations from the audience and crew, the performance gets bigger and better every year
Using technology to keep yourself on track
Why “no pants and fire everywhere” would be an excellent tagline for Atrocity
The creative process and how it’s enjoyable torture as opposed to pointy stick torture
Lori discusses turning people back onto literature with her Literary Brothel, where you leave reality, enter a sacred space, and hear good stories
Realizing that your own true story is a good story
How theater helps promote empathy
What is weird to you is someone else’s normal
Lori explains how Atrocity is an example of theatre of cruelty, an academic theory of theatre. Cruelty is not violence; it is the ability to use visions that you’re not usually subjected to reach into the repressed, dark area of the human mind. It is an assault on the senses that heightens your emotions.
Wearing your weird on the outside
How Atrocity Exhibition creates a space for everyone
35 minute mark begins the conversation about Atrocity Exhibition IX: Inferno
