Becca Blackwell, Erin Markey to Join Carmelita Tropicana in Post Plastica

PS 122 and El Museo del Barrio will present Post Plastica at El Museo del Barrio, a collaboration between Carmelita Tropicana and her sister, the award-winning writer-director Ela Troyano. Performances will run May 31-June 3.

Post Plastica offers a glimpse into a future in which celebrity culture has pitched a battle between the primacy of virtual and artistic lives, revolutionaries keep bees in a secret underground, and a half-woman, half-bear scientist has gained the upper hand.


The piece is conceived and written by Carmelita Tropicana and Ela Troyano, with Troyano directing. The cast features Carmelita Tropicana as well as New York-based performers Becca Blackwell and Erin Markey.

The creative team includes production design by Aliza Shvarts, costumes by Yali Romagoza, digital slide show by Uzi Parnes, and lights by Chris Hudacs.
