Sabrina Wenske in Naked Empire Bouffon Company's How to Catch a Karen
SEE EVENT DETAILS
In Naked Empire Bouffon Company's "How to Catch a Karen" Sabrina Wenske is the immortal trickster witch, Baba Yaga as she shapeshifts into a series of "progressive" Karens, transporting the audience to familiar worlds where Karens thrive undercover. Part of the Zero to Fierce Festival. "Devilishly dangerous theater. -Huffington Post"
Sabrina is an actor and devised theatre-maker currently based in the Bay Area. She is a first-generation Polish American and queer artist, focusing on bringing bouffon to more audiences, and enacting social change through storytelling. She attended the professional training program at Dell'Arte International to study devising theatre through mask, Commedia, and clown. Before that she graduated from UC Berkeley, studying Early Modern European History and Theatre and Performance Studies.
She is a regular ensemble performer with the Naked Empire Bouffon Company whose targets have included hypocrisy within the San Francisco queer community, capital punishment, fear of mortality, artistic pretentiousness, American imperialism, police brutality, ignoring refugee crises, and class privilege, among many other topics. They have toured North America with award-winning productions winning Best of the Fringe twice in San Francisco, the Talk of the Fringe Award in Vancouver, the Artist's Choice Award in Edmonton, as well as Official Selections from the Toronto Festival of Clowns, Vancouver's Dancing on the Edge Festival, Victoria's UNOFest, Berkeley's Blast Festival, and Xfest in Edwardsville, Illinois.
