Doubles, Demons, and Dreamers

Multimedia theatre company Sleeping Weazel presents a four-part live art festival featuring two world premieres in repertory by Kenneth Prestininzi and Adara Meyers. The festival’s week one opens with Prestininzi’s play, “Ugmo and Eenie Go Down the Ruski Hole,” which will happily coincide with Boston’s Pride Week 2014. A set by category-defying, gender-bending singer Johnny Blazes will open the evening’s proceedings. Week two will feature Meyers’ comedy of bad manners “Talk To At Me,” preceded by opener Beth Nixon’s new solo suitcase show “Lava Fossil.”

Concluding its second season, Sleeping Weazel explores and engages novel approaches to developing and presenting new art — multimedia theatre, interdisciplinary installations, performance events, music, poetry, and video/audio. They develop work that crosses and confounds the boundaries of “mainstream” and “avant-garde” as well as boundaries between art forms. The name Sleeping Weazel alludes to the idea of “dreaming awake.”
