| Description |
In New York Values, international performance star Penny Arcade engages individuality and rebellion against the Bourgeois Bohemian. Bourgeois and Bohemia are two entirely different value systems, she says. You can no more be a bourgeois bohemian than you can be an atheist catholic. The show is about the art, rebellion and iconoclasm " where Bohemia intersects with the demimonde, the criminal world. If you do not have a functioning criminal class in your art scene, you have academia! And while academia is a reflection of the art world, it is not, and never will be, the art world. The show uses the fragmented, disjointed vocabulary of today's culture, with storytelling, monologues, music, rants and frequent dance breaks. The aim is to elicit a sense of freedom & individualism in the audience itself.
A runaway at thirteen, a reform-school graduate at sixteen, a performer in the legendary New York City Play-House of the Ridiculous at seventeen and an escapee from Andy Warhols Factory at nineteen, Penny Arcade emerged in the 1980s as a primal force on the New York art scene and an originator of what came to be called performance art. Miss Arcades brand of high camp and street-smart, punk-rock cabaret showmanship has been winning over international audiences ever since.NOTE: No one under 18 years old will be admitted.
