SF Neo-Futurists

30 original plays in 60 minutes, ranging from the personal, to the political, to the profoundly WTF, all truthful and inspired by the lived experiences of the performers.

Every Friday & Saturday, 9:00 PM. See the show the SF Chronicle calls one of "22 San Francisco things everyone must do!”


HOLE

The San Francisco Neo-Futurists invite you to join us for a brand-new, full-length Neo-Futurist show: HOLE.

HOLE is an experimental theater piece by Amy Langer and Bahaar Taj in collaboration with the San Francisco Neo-Futurists. Set at the beach, HOLE revolves around the act of literally digging a large hole in the ground—a simple yet profound action that symbolizes human obsession, compulsion, and perseverance. A play without a fourth wall (or, in fact, any walls), HOLE asks the audience: What needs to be done for you to take up the shovel?


Ritual/Theater: Exploring the Power of Gesture on Stage

A three-hour workshop learning about ritual theater and playing with us at the powerful intersection of art, magic and collective healing!

What makes a performance powerful?

How is that power felt, and how is it harnessed?

The histories of theatrical performance and ceremonial practice are deeply intertwined in many traditions throughout the world, and in this workshop we’ll learn and practice a handful of techniques for creating experiences that occupy the space between art and magic.

We’ll draw from hellenistic magical tradition, bhakti yoga and creative lineages including physical theater, Deep Listening and (soma)tic poetry. Through a combination of discussion, solo practice and creative collaboration, students will learn how to translate their intentions into real-world impact — in magical workings and theatrical performances alike.

This workshop is Saturday, September 27.
This workshop is for all bodies and experience levels.
Includes a free ticket to The Infinite Wrench.


We care about everyone in our Bay Area community, so in the spirit of solidarity, we are pleased to pilot a series of monthly mask-mandatory performances of The Infinite Wrench from July through September 2025! During these performances, we will require audience members to stay masked throughout the show. (We may invite select audience members to unmask for plays that involve audience participation.) On our end, we continue our practice of testing all performers weekly for COVID-19 to keep folks safer.

If you need a mask, we’ll have extra on hand. All you need to bring are the 🏄 good vibes 😎.

The next mask-mandatory performance is: Saturday, September 6.

WHAT THEY SAY WHEN THEY SAY OUR NAME

Press quotes about the San Francisco Neo-Futurists

Screen Shot 2019-12-26 at 2.00.07 PM.png

“For their ferocious commitment to the new, their openness to the imagination, their unvarnished honesty and can-do pep, they’re an underground power generator in an art form no one should ever deride as ‘dying’ so long as they’re fighting the seconds ticking by.”
– Lily Janiak (SF Chronicle)

“Each night will have a tiny play that makes you cry, howl with laughter, question your assumptions and feel a little uncomfortable.”
– Heather Robinson (Broke Ass Stuart)
