Get ready to dive into the depths of horror as ABANDON, a chilling and provocative theatrical experience, takes center stage in the vibrant Las Vegas Arts District. Presented by Las Vegas Horror Show, LLC and co-produced with the Vegas Theatre Company, ABANDON is set to send shivers down spines with its twisted narrative, dark humor, and a blend of psychological terror and forbidden desires.
Transporting audiences to the shadowy corners of 1800s Paris, ABANDON delves into the unsettling world of the Marquis de Sade during his years of confinement in insane asylums. This unique production, slated for a five-week run beginning Thursday, October 5, 2023, explores the blurred line between pleasure and pain in a mind-bending odyssey through unspeakable horrors.
Prepare for a theatrical journey where rapid-fire, wordless vignettes are brought to life by the stellar performances of Joshua Berg (Blue Man Group, Wicked The Musical) and Giulia Piolanti (Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Cirque du Soleil). Directed by Jana Wimer, renowned for her success with Urban Death, ABANDON promises to linger in the nightmares of its audience long after the final curtain falls.
The creative forces behind ABANDON are a powerhouse of talent, with a script crafted by Robert Bullwinkel, Abel Horwitz, and Jana Wimer. Hollywood composer Joseph Bishara, famous for The Conjuring and Insidious franchises, and Emmy Award-winning sound designer Katie Haliday of Stranger Things fame, add their magic to the mix, enhancing the terror with an original, killer soundtrack and spine-chilling visual effects.
