DATURA is Obie-Award-winning writer-performer Amanda Duarte serving anecdotes and antidotes spanning from pre-pandemic to the future —from throwing stones to talking to them, from dating dads to drug-infused Doritos to divine feminine disclosure on a mountain, from tech asses to Aztecs, from mind-control machines to monarch butterflies. An evening of filthy, sacred literary cabaret that is not to be missed!

AMANDA DUARTE
***Amanda Duarte is a NY-based writer-performer currently vibrating in carbon and recently seen as a perineum in Snatch Adams and Tainty McCracken Present It's That Time of the Month at Soho Rep (Obie Award). Other shows include Staying Alive and Adrienne Truscott's Asking For It at Joe's Pub and the long-running cult favorite Dead Darlings ("Absolute Best Reading Series in New York" - NY Mag) at Judson, currently enjoying a renaissance in Kingston, New York.

She is proud to be included in the Museum of Hoaxes for her work with Mike Albo on the "Hurt Locker: The Musical" Playbill for Hedwig on Broadway, and to be an Oxford Word of the Year nominee for #PussyGrabsBack.***

“Duarte… has long occupied a singular niche in the Downtown Manhattan performance world, blending comedy, political satire, theater, confessional monologue, and cabaret into a style that feels both deeply literary and gloriously unhinged.” - Brian Mahoney, Chronogram

“The dark queen of satire”- Time Out New York

“Duarte looks like the love child of Tom Selleck and the Cowardly Lion if he were also a perineum.”- Sara Holdren, New York Magazine
