In Performance: Alligators! Curated/directed by Ieva Miseviciute and Michael Portnoy (Amsterdam)

Primal Virtuosos, Vague Mime, Lunging Non-Moments, That Whole Active/Passive Thing, Sickening Cognitive and Contextual Shifts, and People Who Look Like Boxes standing next to People Who Look Like Tables!

Alligators! is an evening long performance programme inspired by early forms of popular entertainment ranging from Japanese Kyōgen, and 19th Century British extravaganzas, to Italian avanspettacolo.

The show on the 13th and 14th of November 2010 consists of contributions by featured artists Christian Jankowski (DE), Erkka Nissinen (FIN), Karen Røise Kielland (NOR/NL), Miet Warlop (BE) and Reggie Watts (US) with a program of directed interludes and inversions.

Juggling the notions of materiality and production, the whole show functions as an alchemical factory producing a concrete object that will be on display from 16 November to 28 November at de Appel Boys’ School.
