Red Tide Blooming

” by turns (and sometimes all at once) filthy, hilarious, heartfelt, sentimental, raw, and genuinely moving…attacking it all with smarts, style, and a stark-raving fabulousness” – Next Magazine

PS122’s first-ever recipient of the Ethyl Eichelberger Award for artistic excellence, Taylor Mac teams up with puppeteer Basil Twist, choreographer Julie Atlas Muz and a slew of New York’s most outrageously gifted performers in this aquatic musical bonanza grappling with Coney Island’s revitalization. Classic Mermaid Parade antics swim alongside a collective creative visualization of Armageddon in the murky waters of gentrification and cultural homogenization.

As featured in New York Magazine, The New Yorker and The Brooklyn Rail

Join us for a talkback with the artist after the performance Sunday April 16

Hell

Hell Hell

A lurid new opera by poet Eileen Myles and composer Michael Webster, HELL employs frank and lyrical language and an exalted baroque style to tear away the veils obscuring corporate silence and global disaster. Inspired by Dante’s Inferno and post 9/11 events, HELL takes up an elegiac and musical cudgel on behalf of free speech and sings out against the endless waging of war.

Dangerous Women

Schoolhouse Roxx

presents
“DANGEROUS WOMEN”
A PERFORMANCE ART DOUBLE-BILL

From March 30 to April 1, PS122’s Schoolhouse Roxx Series presents a double bill of dangerous women. Internationally known performance artist Nao Bustamante will be performing her new work, entitled Hero and rising downtown art star Dynasty Handbag brings her own peculiar blend of music and deranged monologue to the PS122 stage.

Nao Bustamante is an internationally known performance artist originating from the San Joaquin Valley of California. Her work encompasses performance art, sculpture, installation, video, pop music and experimental rips in time.
Hero works live performance, Video projection, and karaoke. Bustamante’s character transforms, via video, from a gentle princess who has lost her puppy in a lush fall forest into an icy nefarious hag trudging through the snow.

Dynasty Handbag is the one woman music/comedy/performance/meltdown portable electro-ballad vehicle of Jibz Cameron (of the indie rock bands Dynasty, The Roofies, Camp Winnarainbow). Originally from San Francisco, in 2005 she relocated to NYC to escape an obsessed prisoner pen pal. Within 5 months, with a little hard work and a lot of heart, she was crowned Miss Lower East Side. On stage Cameron performs with a backing track containing original songs and dialogues of her innermost personal thoughts and horrible feelings.
