Salesmen: A Meditation on Masculinity and the American REAL! – Location, Tickets, Reviews
Salesmen: a Meditation on Masculinity and the American REAL! by Theater Reconstruction Ensemble is presented as part of the 2013 SubletSeries at HERE Art Center. Amongst several talented performers, Salesmen features 2013 New York Innovative Theatre Awards winner Nick Smerkanich.
With no explicit storyline, Salesmen assembles a group of eight men, whose identities and relationships to one another are undefined, to map fragments of everyday life. Director John Kurzynowski creates a contemplative space for the audience to reflect on masculinity and American realism. Experimental and conceptual, the play is largely presented through silent mimicry with enhancing music.
The play is abstract, the acting is expressive, and the execution effective. This thoughtful production provides a uncommon theatrical experience.
Recommended if:
- You enjoy silent films;
- You enjoy unique theatrical experiences;
- You are interested in exploring and deconstructing white straight male privilege; or
- You enjoy performances that are open to individual interpretation.

Review
Theater Is Easy
It should be made very clear that TRE’s Salesmen is non-traditional theatre in every sense of the word, however there are many shining moments in the production that make it a valuable experience for those willing to be taken along for the ride.
