Portmanteau is a theater collective built around partnerships between generative artists.
Originally founded by director
Lila Rachel Becker and playwright
Eric Marlin, Portmanteau work tends to have intimate, minimalist forms that lure the audience into unnerving theatrical landscapes. We’re interested in language, power, and complicity.
Current projects include :
- I WANNA MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A STUPID SET OF HOLES, a verbatim text opera using profiles and DMs from dating apps
- Flatbush Lysistrata, an adaptation of Aristophanes’s play set in the Hasidic Jewish community at an axe-throwing parlor
- Red Musa Palacios of Fez, the Rabbi Pirate, a music theater piece about 16th century Iberian Jewish and Muslim pirates
