On Saturday, August 8th, Rendezvous’ JewelBox Theater presents TRAGIC MAGIC (NYC):
Notorious New York City downtown performance artists Heather Ács, Glenn Marla, and Silas Howard of Tribe 8 present an evening of new solo works, traversing through a multi-media world of string theory, face masturbation and loopholes in the American dream. Through ruminations on desire, shame and loss, this motley crew invites audiences into a non-linear landscape scattered with fragmented mothers, MILF-y therapists and the mysterious figure of Mr. Hollywood, asking What is the price of letting go, selling out, or breaking up with your own body?
Performance artist Glenn Marla presents Tragic Magic, one tranny’s dark, hilarious exploration of how we interact with our bodies and our past.
Silas Howard’s Thank you for Being Urgent is a tale of a queer punk spilling into the cruddy and exalted glitter of Hollywood’s desire and shame.
The show plays Portland tonight and the Portland Mercury had the following description:
Tragic Magic isn’t just the street name for crack dipped in PCP. It’s also tonight’s one-and-done show by three of NYC’s most hell-bent performance artistes: dirty pretty Heather Acs, tightly dressed Glenn Marla (Miss LES 2006), and indie director/punk queer Silas Howard. Their swirling narratives and multimedia masturbation will mess you up pretty good.
Show starts at 8pm on Saturday August 8 at the JewelBox Theater in Seattle. Tickets are $8/$12.
