The Stranger Suggests
Theater
'Hey Girl!' at On the Boards
The story is simple: A woman wakes up, gets ready to go out. But Italian theater company Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio turns her routine into stark symbolism: The woman "wakes" out of a silicon cocoon; she pours perfume on a big, smoking-hot sword; she is beaten by men with pillows; she dances with a black woman in chains. The way artistic director Lane Czaplinski talks about Hey Girl!, it's the show he's been waiting for all year. (On the Boards, 100 W Roy St, 217-9888. 8 pm, $24. Jan 31–Feb 3.)
