Book, Music and Lyrics By David Chesky

A biting satire on our contemporary world, the opera The Pig, The Farmer, and The Artist humorously attacks our present-day spiritual malaise by poking fun at the inverted values of our materialistic society. In the opera, to avoid being slaughtered by a lunatic farmer, Shirley the cow (a former hooker from Amsterdam), and her transvestite husband, Harvey, escape to New York's East Village, where they soon become all the rage of the highbrow art scene. Back on the farm, the Pig gets wind of their fame and follows to seek his artistic fortunes as well. Will the elitist critics accept the Pig's trendy conceptual art? Will the psychotic homesteader arrive in time to reclaim his prized hog? Will swine become the new black? This outrageous Fellini-esque satire superimposes the world of contemporary music onto the modern art scene, scorchingly skewering them both. The production features adult content and no one under 18 years of age will be admitted.
