Cheerfully nihilistic dance/theater by the iconoclastic Witness Relocation/Dan Safer. Topics include animals, pleasant afternoons, high kicks, torture, a viola, and vivid descriptions of dystopia.
“The House of Cards” is a solo created in collaboration with acclaimed dancer Marcus McGregor (Dance Theater of Harlem, Feld Ballet), with text by playwright Chuck Mee (Eterniday, Heaven on Earth), original score by Christian Frederickson (SITI company, Rachael’s), projections by filmmaker Tom Kalin (Swoon, Savage Grace), and recorded voiceovers by Kevin Mambo (Fela) and German New Wave Cinema superstar Angela Winkler (The Tin Drum).
“The Talking Heads of Stone” is a duet with McGregor and Daniel Pettrow (Wooster Group, John Hegginbotham, Romeo Castellucci). Everything is designed by Deb O (set and costumes) and Jay Ryan (lights).
