WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Performance Space 122 exports a multi-artist program to be presented at Seattle's legendary Bumbershoot Festival. PS122 NYC: Seattle Edition is a live bento box teeming with delectable performance bites from Witness Relocation, Reggie Watts and Tommy Smith, LeeSaar The Company - plus a live art installation by 31 Down and Japanther. Best to come hungry.
PS122 NYC: Seattle Edition features:
Witness Relocation: The Panic Show
Combining dance and theatre with the energy of a rock concert, The Panic Show attacks mass hysteria, hyper-ventilation, stress, and self help techniques. Dark confessions, confetti, and real time performance tasks will whip the audience and performers into a lather. Co-commissioned by Dance New Amsterdam.
Reggie Watts/Tommy Smith: Radio Play
Sonic auteurs Reggie Watts & Tommy Smith model Radio Play after radio programs of yesteryear, gathering a group of actors, musicians and sound-effects artists to create a surreal sonic entertainment - performed in the dark!
LeeSaar The Company: Geisha
A woman and man are locked in a sensual duet interwoven with a surreal concert performance by an over-the-top Celine Dion-esque diva. Navigating a world that is alternately disturbing and seductive, intimate and extroverted, Geisha opens the door to an intensely voyeuristic and hypnotic experience.
31 Down Radio Theatre & Japanther: The Scream Contest
A startlingly cathartic installation of alt-punk proportions, 31 Down and Japanther challenge you to The Scream Contest. Sign up to read a short radio theatre scene ending with a blood curdling scream provided by YOU. Like a sideshow at a county fair where people test their strength by pounding a hammer and ringing a bell, The Scream Contest rewards the best set of lungs. The winner is decided by the Scream-o-MeterTM.
Since 1971, Bumbershoot has been Seattle's premiere indoor/outdoor Music and Arts Festival. Situated in the Seattle Center, the 74-acre park located in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, Bumbershoot has it all, and umbrellas a number of artists from different genres representing the best in music, film, comedy, theater, spoken word, dance, visual, performance and literary arts.
