The foremost chronicler of onstage nudity has logged back on.

When an actor drops trow, audiences generally react on a scale from curiosity to titillation.

But Teatro La Re-sentida’s Oasis of Impunity — which had a criminally abbreviated run at NYU Skirball earlier this month — adds an unexpected quadrant onto this scale: the production weaponizes nudity against the audience, through repetition, until the sight of a naked body instills instant dread.

Near the beginning of the show, a cast member walks onto the empty stage wearing absolutely nothing. He centers himself, stares into the house, and then proceeds to start bloodily pulling teeth out of his own mouth.

A few scenes later, another bare thespian takes the bare stage, centers himself, stares into the house, and then proceeds to start violently pulling his dick and balls as far as — if not farther than — his skin can stretch.

From this point on, whenever the ensemble’s privates made an appearance, a conditioned shiver went down my spine. “Dear lord, NOT AGAIN; what unimaginable pain will they inflict on themselves — and on our eyeballs — this time around?”

This whole situation reminds me of The Exorcist, specifically the fear triggered every time the camera follows the characters down that dark hallway, back into that infernally possessed room, where we can only imagine what unimaginable horrors await.

And how does Oasis of Impunity’s weaponization of nudity against the audience relate to its overarching exploration of state violence against citizens?

That’s just one of many questions raised by such Theatre of Cruelty.
