They've announced it. There's some good-looking stuff: tEEth, Erin Jorgesen with Steve Fisk, Trimpin, SuttonBeresCuller, zoe | juniper [Zoe Scofiled and Juniper Shuey], the freaking Merce Cunningham Dance Company, and more.
And here's an email exchange I had with Jessica Massart of On the Boards about one of their artists for next season.
Jessica:
Angélica Liddell is a Spanish artist who can only do 3 shows because of the amount of booze she consumes onstage and the time it takes to heal from the cutting.
Me:
what does liddell do besides drink a lot and cut herself? (and what does she drink? and what does she cut herself with?)
Jessica:
Jessica: AngĂ©lica⊠she cuts herself with razor blades and at one point uses safety pins (I think) to pierce a piece of fabric to her chest. Sheâs drinking beer nonstop throughout the show. In addition to that sheâs delivering text, shooting at targets with paintball guns, wielding a blowtorch, and playing the cello.
She writes all of her own stuff, but this is the first time her stuff will be translated into English so I donât have any excerpts or scripts to send. You can get a sense of her voice in this lone translated interview (âwhat I do is some kind of pornography, the pornography of the soulâ).
Sounds like a hell of a show. She's coming this October.
