The Kammerspiel
Theater
Connect
Set in an NYC private school on the eve of 9/11, The Melon's Cry is a retelling of the poem Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti. Two best friends cling to each other as they are sucked into the inexorable tragedy of sexual maturity and into the void of a post-ideological era. A fable of surrender—willing and unwilling.

About the Artist
Founded in 2020, The Kammerspiel makes commercially non-viable theater that is subversive and sublime. The company takes its name from the German word Kammer, meaning "small room" and embraces the theatrical equivalent of chamber music: intimate, finely-wrought productions created wherever, whenever, however, while prioritizing artistic risk.
