Iver Findlay | Performance Space New York

“It’s 1977. It’s 1973. It’s 1958. It’s 1962. It’s 1979. And I’m going to ask you the same damn thing people are always asking me, like ‘how did you end up here?'”

Jamming, cramming, sucking and fucking off with dance, live music, theatre, and video: an unkempt, bleached and bludgeoned fake take on Beckett and Sartre, and Cage, and Cunningham, and Barfly and chance. You are now here. You are nowhere.

Made in collaboration with Diane Madden, Joey Truman, Peter Warren, Pål Asle Pettersen and Jim Dawson.

Developed through a residency at Baryshnikov Arts Center and is a co-production of Touscene and RAS in Stavanger, Norway and is generously supported by Norsk Kulturrad, Fond for Lyd og Bilde, FFUK and Stavanger Kulturbyfond. Supported in part by TestPerformanceTest. Additional residency support provided @ the Collapsable Hole by the Collapsable Giraffe.

The International Show: A Panikk Transatlantique

A powerhouse international interdisciplinary collaboration serves up stimulating performance. Internationally-renowned visual and performance artists Marie Nerland (Norway) and Alexander Gerner (Germany) team up with Collapsable Giraffe’s co-founder Iver Findlay (New York) and playwright/director Young Jean Lee (New York).

This is the second phase in a long-term partnership between PS122 and BIT Teatergarasjen, Norway’s pre-eminent venue for contemporary art, theatre, and dance that began with 2005’s sold out “Norway in New York” festival. Following its presentation in New York, the performance will be presented in October in Bergen at BIT Teatergarasjen’s Meteor Theatre Festival.

Approximate running time: 1 hour

The project is supported by Arts Council Norway, The Foreign Ministry of Norway, City of Bergen, BIT Teatergarasjen, Performance Space 122, Tou Scene and The Norwegian Writers Centre.
