Every house has a door:  "Crystal Pantomime"

Every house has a door performs a newly commissioned work Anchored by a reading of Mina Loy’s prose ballet “Crystal Pantomime” at The Arts Club of Chicago and the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum.

In conjunction with the exhibition Mina Loy: Strangeness Is Inevitable, The Arts Club of Chicago has invited Every house has a door to develop a new work in response to Loy’s expansive creative practice. Anchored by a reading of Loy’s prose ballet “Crystal Pantomime,” whose language projects fantastic tableaus in the imaginations of the audience as a collective dream, Every house builds a world around an oversized lamp-shade sculpture by artist Diane Simpson, with wardrobe and objects by Max Guy, and enlists a company of intergenerational specialists to evoke a theater of the mind. Readers Leila Ashrafi, Daniel Borzutzky, Nakiyah T.M. Jordan, and Jenny Polus are joined in performance by Elise Cowin and Matthew Goulish.Presented only twice, first at the The Arts Club of Chicago reprised one week later at the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, each performance is site-responsive honoring the lineage of Chicago’s rich history of experimental performance."Crystal Pantomime," used with permission from the Beinecke Archive at Yale; published in Stories and Essays of Mina Loy, Sara Crangle [Dalkey Archive, 2011].
