A Fried Octopus - an original theater piece at bootleg theater

An original dream play that links the world of women in Toulouse Lautrec's paintings to the men who loved them.  Through words, movement and love the divine feminine of the past gains strength as a surreal absinthe night of drinking opens up a world that will enchant, challenge, frighten and inspire. Join an in-house group of Bootleg artists as we explore the art, performance, love, life and the women who played roles throughout it all.

Based on research of the period by Bootleg Artistic Director, Alicia Adams, and created by some of the theater artists that call Bootleg home, including Alicia Adams, Kirk Wilson, Jessica Hanna, Michael Dunn, Will Watkins, Kera Arman and Lulu Brud, Adam Flemming & Francois-Pierre Couture. Directed & Conceived by Justin Zsebe.

Bridge the Gap between waking and dreaming.

Bootleg is a space for art.


Bootleg is a 1930’s warehouse and a home for Los Angeles artists who work in theater, music, dance, and film. Bootleg provides artistic support and production resources to help these artists create original and daring interdisciplinary work. Combining art forms creates work that is surprising, unexpected, exciting and reflective of life in Los Angeles, a city where the boundaries are elastic, and not bound by tradition. Bootleg offers Los Angeles a celebration of itself.
