IMAGINE AN UNDERGROUND NIGHTCLUB where world-weary, war-weary civilians go to chop onions and cry. After they unleash their pent-up emotions, music lulls the customers back to normal life. This is the setting of one of the eeriest chapters in German writer Gunter Grass's well-known 1959 novel The Tin Drum--and the inspiration for a new theatrical undertaking by Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione (best known as the punk duo the Dresden Dolls). The Onion Cellar runs at American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 9-Jan. 13.
