Description

Her stage presence blurs the lines of feminine and masculine energy in a post-gender eruption of power. SUO is the solo project of Brooklyn-based musician and artist Saara Untracht-Oakner (of BOYTOY). The songs are a collection of various modes and a spectrum of emotions with a strong focus on song-writing and melody. Drawing inspiration from a range of artists including Harry Nilson, Prince, Lou Reed, The Supremes, Brian Eno, Grace Jones and Patti Smith, SUO creates something reminiscent and familiar, while simultaneously catchy and fresh.  Her stage presence blurs the lines of feminine and masculine energy in a post-gender eruption of power, something beyond the constructs of social normality. This project is an amalgamation of more than 15 years of songwriting, 10 years of national and international touring and an insatiable craving for growth, exploration and creation.  Currently backed by some of NYC's most prolific and talented songwriters, including Josephine (The Josephine Network), Max Hersh (Dirty Fences/Metalleg/Hershguy), Nat Brower (Brower), Joshua Rouah (Kizmit Recording Studio), and Andrea Scanniello (Dropper), SUO's live performance is a bonafide Super Group experience.  COVID-19 Guidelines: All guests must wear a mask when not actively eating and drinking/ provide proof of vaccination at-the-door.

Now the venue produces theater, music, comedy, spoken word, educational workshops and more, providing a safe place to create dangerous work. Work that counteracts the passive, the isolating, the distance between people. Come experience joyful creation, partake in brave exploration, meet the person sitting next to you, share about what you’re seeing, buy them a drink. Our goal is to present relevant performing and visual art that is accessible for diverse audiences; art that connects and inspires us, and incites us to leap across cultural boundaries. The Foundry is a holding tank for raw, funny, challenging, empowering work that changes the lens through which we view each other.
