The Neo-Futurists

Hi my name is Kurt Chiang – with me today are four members of Mocrep – and this is Sip Sip Sips – say it over and over – Sip Sip Sips – Sip Sip Sips – feel that? – Sip Sip Sips is a quick, devised collaboration between me and Mocrep, sparked by mutual appreciation, respect and curiosity – it is inspired by and freely adapted from the text of the short story “The Everlasting Sippers” by Diane Williams – a goal of this collaboration is to juice the multiple interpretations one gets from reading the sparse, efficient, and evocative text – we filter it into a concentrated, eventful piece of one-night-only performance – dialogue, dance, movement, looping recitations, sound, noise and jokes all have a crack at your senses – the lives of a few fictional characters play out before us – this leads to rest.// Special guest Diana Slickman (Theatre Oobleck, The Neo-Futurists) opens with a reading of the original story. Sip Sip Sips is the beginning phase of an ongoing collaboration between Kurt Chiang and Mocrep; future works may or may not include sipping. //COVID Protocols: Masks are required indoors for all guests. Proof of vaccination - with booster shot - is required for all guests to be considered fully vaccinated and eligible to enter The Neo-Futurist Theater.Note on Accessibility: The Neo-Futurist Theater is located on the second floor of a large building on the corner of Foster &amp; Ashland.
