HOW TO DIE (2005-06): Performance by Keith Hennessy with Jules Beckman & Seth Eisen
Hardcore, intimate, performance art, magic.
HOW TO DIE provokes a reconsideration of American identity through the intimate witnessing of iconic, marginalized figures: The Homeless, The Drug Addict. The two act work (Homeless USA, American Tweaker) was commissioned and premiered in France in 2005-06, and was presented in 2007 at Dance Mission Theatre, (SF). HOW TO DIE was made in collaboration with performers Jules Beckman and Seth Eisen, with additional texts by Robert Olen Butler and Kirk Read.
"Pow! Right in the kisser. Two visions of social discontent in contemporary society straight-up and unflinching." - Lyon Capitale, France
"Keith Hennessy is not for the faint of heart. His work is raw, sexually explicit and violent. Its also optimistic, romantic and nave. Hennessy, or his theatrical persona, believes that shamanist practices, the ones that dig so deep that they scare us out of our complacency, can bring about social change. At the very least, he sure is going to try." - Rita Felciano, danceviewtimes.com
