The Second Coming of Klaus Kinski – Perez Returns to Resurrect a Tortured Soul

Combined Artform/WTFN are proud to bring back The Second Coming of Klaus Kinski, written and performed by Andrew Perez and directed by Eric G. Johnson.  After an Encore Award-winning run at the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival, for which it was named “Best of the Fringe” by TVolution, the show opens on September 29 for a 6-week run at The Blank’s Second Stage Theatre.

 

Klaus Kinski - A Reincarnation

 

In this latest incarnation of The Second Coming of Klaus Kinski, his resurrection will be presented within a ceremonial sacrarium exploring different aspects of the man’s life through relics, curios, exhibits, film installations, live conversations and more.

 

Klaus Kinski (1926-1991) is one of the most celebrated and controversial actors in the history of world cinema. The reckless abandon with which he approached both life and art left him tortured, demonized and worshipped.

 

Kinski Herzog

 

Before his famed collaborations with director Werner Herzog (Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Nosferatu, Fitzcarraldo), Klaus Kinski was a tortured B-movie character actor who had become a touring sensation for his live wire theatrical performances. It was during this time that Kinski starred as Jesus Christ in a one-man show that had taken him a decade to write. Audiences were outraged at Kinski’s audacious portrayal of Jesus and heckled him mercilessly. After only 2 performances Kinski cancelled the tour.

 

He now returns to shake your souls as actor-writer Andrew Perez (My Scientology Movie, Bastards y Diablos, The Tension Experience: Ascension) does battle with Kinski’s demons in an effort to resurrect him and finish the job in one last command performance.

 

People will tell you he is dead. Don’t believe them!
