DIRT TRIP || created and performed by Alex Tatarsky
A decomposing performance on clowns, dirt, and apocalypse feelings.
“A hilarious, finely tuned absurdist” (Theater Jones) and “one of the most exciting and hilarious performance artists around” (ArtSpace), Alex Tatarsky careens between tightly scripted sequences and wildly improvised experiments. An etymological foray, essay as sashay, clown dance in the abyss. Through choreographies of falling and failing, Tatarsky embraces the poetics of rotten language and the arts of breaking down. Why are we so scared of falling down? Why are we so scared of things falling apart? Contents may include: an unhinged triptych, the ballad of an unemployed court jester who desires to be a rotting vegetable, a talk that decays into a heap of dirt.
