WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
This holiday season's contractions will not only be felt within in the world wide economic meltdown but also by Mx Justin Vivian Bond, the Holy Mother of downtown performance. Get ready, 'cause once those contractions set in and Mx Bond's creative juices start flowing that dammed holiday cheer is sure to break loose and flood Wall Street, Grand Street and every other street in New York City with tidings of joyous political satire, original songs, some good old-fashioned holiday chestnuts and a dash of flashy, trashy fun.
This holiday season Mx Bond will be joined by musical director Lance Horne and a group of handsome musicians, dancers and maybe even a displaced political activist or two! Trans-form your holiday season with interpretations of songs by Kate Bush, LCD Soundsystem, Sparklehorse and more by the artist The New Yorker called "the best cabaret artist of this generation". Take a trip to Abrons for Mx Bond's Austerity Measures: A Snow Job for the Masses. You may be out a few bucks but there'll be plenty of holiday cheer!
