Picasso wrote it, Warhol's muse stars in it, and sense is strictly optional.

Le Désir attrapé par la queue (1967)

deliberately nonsensicalart school fever dreamchaotic neutral

Overview

Drama

"Desire Caught by the Tail" - Described as surrealistic, absurd, and weird. The narrative is nonlinear and the meaning nearly impossible to decipher, the work has been praised despite, and sometimes for, its lack of message.

Writing

Picasso's only play: a script that actively resists interpretation.

Production

Best for:Solo: When you want to feel smarter than you actually are.·Background: Play at art parties; guests will pretend they get it.
Heads up:Disturbing: Characters eat dirt and discuss bodily functions at length.
