Apocalypse Talks: a Dumpster-fireside Chat | Series LAUNCH

Introducing Apocalypse Talks: a Dumpster-fireside Chat Series. Join us weekly on Wednesdays at 7pm as we get into the textures, sensations, emotions, landscapes, materials, aromas, by-products, aesthetics, and other messiness of living in a multi-crisis reality. With a range of guests we’ll talk about how we are dealing, and how our practices and processes refract life in the end times.

Next event: March 31, 2021 at 7pm, featuring imogen xtian smith (register here).

These are the core themes in Stephanie Acosta’s upcoming exhibition Good Day God Damn (opening May 2021 at the new Chocolate Factory space), where we will start our conversation, but where we go only the fire knows.

Sign in and drop questions, join this bit of cosmic chaos while Acosta chats with artists, makers, astronomers, and you!

Organized by Stephanie Acosta and Alexis Wilkinson.

[WORLD PREMIERE] THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY THEATER PRESENTS

Stephanie Acosta Good Day God Damn

March 19-28, 2020 ; Thursdays - Saturdays at 8pm

The Chocolate Factory Theater5-49 49th Avenue, LIC NY 11101

In a multi-frame assemblage of video projection, the cinematic lens, and the theatrical frame, the performers of Good Day God Damn - four dancers, an opera singer, and an ill fated screeching director - move as an organic sentient mass through multiple atmospheres and states, exploring ideas of the cinematic thriller and extraterrestrial hope in an attempt to disassemble, rebuild, and hold onto the very notion of survival in an absurd multi-crisis reality, asking: what does it mean to get through it? Dissonant sounds and images give way to choral moments in a darkly thrilling and dynamic disarray.Created and directed by Stephanie Acosta.

Performers: Leslie Cuyjet, Miriam Gabriel, Angie Pittman, and Jessie Young. Sound and vocals: Alexa Grae. Lighting Design: Shana Crawford. Projection Mapping: Ryan Holsopple.Good Day God Damn began its development as part of a Creative Residency at The Chocolate Factory Theater in September 2018, curated by Blaze Ferrer.
