Two-time OBIE and BESSIE award winner, the GREAT Karen Finley is opening a new show at The Laurie Beechman Theatre!
In COVID VORTEX ANXIETY OPERA KITTY KALEIDOSCOPE DISCO, Finley will present a new solo performance written during the pandemic
that reflects on the traumas, politics, world events amidst the coping
strategies with isolation, death, loss and a culture of anxiety. The
text will be a poetic reflection/ response that explores the pandemic,
and all its emotional consequences, embodiment, vision and courage,
agency, absurdity and humanity. Being in New York City, as the hotspot
will reflect on an earlier NYC as an AIDS hotspot while encountering the
rage and sorrow that still remain. Such as the reversal of Roe vs Wade
and the feminist intersections with other challenges. This look back
while trying to look forward creates the performance purpose, passion
and vulnerability of how to employ love despite the hate, to circumvent
humanity despite the violence that proliferates. And the gratitude
within the creative gesture as possibility of re-imagining anew.
Any new performance by Karen Finley is cause for celebration, so get your tickets Now at www.spincyclenyc.com.
