All You'll Need is Love
7pm, Tuesday, December 11, 2007
L'Orange Bleu Restaurant
430 Broome Street (corner of Lafayette)
RSVP at (212) 226-4999 and be punctual.
If you love performance art and good food, Art Hijack and Dance Gang (Will Rawls/Kennis Hawkins) present a special project that is sure to fill you up with both. The artists have chosen four contestants from right here in New York City to play Romeo and Juliet in a unique performance that is a sincere, humorous blend of the original Dating Game television show, William Shakespeare, and The Da Vinci Code.
The drama starts at 8 p.m. at both restaurant L'Orange Bleu (430 Broome Street) and ISE Cultural Foundation. A live Internet feed links the two locations. Ideally, you want to be in the restaurant, where all the action is visible while you eat and drink. Intentionally complicating matters by communicating in many modes, artists and audience work to uncross the stars, and ultimately, make a love connection.
Other guest artists include Marci MacGuffie, musicians Jeremy Linzee (Summer Lawns) and Fred Thomas (Saturday Looks Good to Me); and a special death-defying appearance by Marcel Duchamp, as multiples of himself and his cross-dressing alter-ego Rose Selavy (a pun on the French phrase Eros, c est la vie).
For more information, please contact curator Margot Norton and the ISE Cultural Foundation at (212) 925-1649, or email margotnorton@hotmail.com.
