March is said to come “in like a lion and out a lamb.” What better month for the theme PREDATOR/PREY? This ages-old relationship has many names: the circle of life, the food chain, survival of the fittest. There is the hunter and the hunted. But in human relationships, are the lines quite so clearly drawn? Are predators always villains and prey always victims? Our artists promise to chomp, gasp, hiss, whimper, growl, run, roar, scream and otherwise explore the bounds of this duality.
The evening will feature: smut-theater from Cameryn Moore the Phone Whore, radical puppetry from Philadelphia-based “whimsycore” artist Geppetta, sexy poetry from fierce femme Idalia, modern dance from Marsha Parrilla/Danza Orgánica as well as performances from Boston’s most innovative vaudevillians, Johnny Blazes and Madge of Honor. The presentation of findings will be followed by a dance party to the smashing sounds of Boston’s own DJ Golden Touch of Audio Chemists. Feature drinks, appropriately fluorescent and elixir-evocative, will be available at the bar for those scientists over 21.
