Demolition Queens

The Packing House Center for the Arts presents 'Demolition Queens' (world premiere), a performance spectacle by Control Group Productions
Directed by Patrick Mueller in collaboration with Kristine Whittle, Candess Giyan, and Mike Meter
April 22-24, 8pm

WHEN THEREâS NOTHING LEFT TO BURN YOU HAVE TO SET YOURSELF ON FIRE. Raze the debris of the glam-fashion-punk-pop-image-icon-anti-cult like a derelict high-rise of spent cultural currency. Then dance on the ashes. This isnât dissection of super-stardom, just a glorious conflagration. It is a performance in two parts: a fire and a dream of fire.

Control Groupâs medium is live performance (occasionally also video), using all available tools to make the work at hand. The purpose and process dictate the form of the product. If thatâs just a bunch of crap to you: Control Group is a dance theatre company working in a different style for each piece. This one has dancing, singing, yelling, pop music, velvet curtains, and a raised stage, among other things.
