Evil Con 2022  by Fernando Segall and Darius M. Buckley (presented in the 115 Play Festival at Columbia University)

• Directed by Ares Harper

• Dramaturgy by Sarah Bedwell

• Featuring Darby Davis as Nain Rouge, Antonia Cruz-Kent as Cuca, and Michael Landes as Krampus

In a multicultural world, where can we find common ground? Folklore. Myth. Legend. The bogeyman. We're often told how to keep these frightening creatures at bay, but it's time to consider what they do in their free time. Better yet, what they think of each other. Evil Con 2022 is our reflection on celebrity culture, fear, and cultural appropriation. The characters you see on stage may be ridiculous (and evil) but we hope you see past their reputation. Behind every notorious monster, there's a kreatur just dying to be seen.
