Mascot for the Dead

Reading / Worshop / Presentation

 

Marc Arthur’s new production “Mascot for the Dead” unpacks war, disease, madness, suffering and corruption to investigate the violent act through live painting.  Structured in the style of a Jacobean revenge tragedy, and drawing on a vast array of text, music, sound and dance, this work exposes the raw nerves—psychic and social—that pulse through modern life.

For the past year Marc Arthur has been writing and workshopping this new piece.

 

Please join us for a very special presentation – the first public showing that will include a full reading as well as staged performances by collaborators Tony Torn, Philly Abe, Jehan O. Young and Jacob Lasser.  The evening will also feature movement and video by Ryan Lawrence and Zbigniew Bymek.
