Alpert Award- winner Rinde Eckert’s tour de force performance draws the audience into the haunted world of Nathan, whose struggle against mental deterioration forces him to rely on a tape recorder worn around his neck h Courtesy the artist in place of a working memory, as his obsession with the opera becomes as total as Ahab’s quest for the white P Wertenbaker Caleb by oto whale. Masterfully directed by David Schweizer and featuring the vocal magic of original cast member Nora Cole, these performances mark the return of Eckert’s seminal 2000 off-Broadway production, which prompted critics to cite such diverse references as Bertolt Brecht, Samuel Beckett and Tom Waits.

Abacus introduces media visionary and cult icon Paul Abacus, who is given a platform to expound on such theories as a re-imagining of Buckminster Fuller’s fabled Geoscope as a new “data cathedral” for the masses and a call for a world without national borders. Part pitchman and part sermonizer, Abacus is magnified by a team of live video Steadicams and large-scale projections in this genre-defying, visually immersive production that was first staged at REDCAT’s New Original Works Festival and has since won national praise.

Working through the visual styles and tropes of such iconic film directors as Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Wong Kar-wai and Ingmar Bergman, Wong’s practice considers the means through which subjectivity and geographic location are constructed by motion pictures. For his first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, Wong creates a series of video sculptures and scenic backdrops that center around the making of Roman Polanski’s seminal 1974 film Chinatown, with the artist cast as two of the film’s central characters. Filmed on location in the Gallery at REDCAT, Making Chinatown transforms the exhibition space into a studio backlot and examines the original film’s constructions of language, performance and identity. Funded in part with generous support from Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard.

MAKING COMMUNITY: THE PLACES AND15 SPACES OF LGBTQ COLLECTIVE IDENTITY FORMATION Christina B. Hanhardt Introduction In the summer of 2012, posters reading "MORE GRINDR=FEWER GAY BARS” appeared taped to signposts in numerous gay neighborhoods in North America—from Greenwich Village in New York City to Davie Village in Vancouver, Canada.1 The signs expressed a brewing fear: that the popularity of online lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social media—like Grindr, which connects gay men based on proximate location—would soon replace the bricks-and-mortar institutions that had long facilitated LGBTQ community building.

  • Warlikowski's “Warsaw Cabaret”
    Warlikowski’s “Warsaw Cabaret”: Transmissions from the End of the World The premiere performance of “Warsaw Cabaret” at Nowy Teatr. Krzysztof Warlikowski shows his sense of humour with a play that we thought would be a warning against the brutal new wave. The most famous scene in Bob Fosse’s “Cabaret” starring Liza Minelli? A boy crisply singing an innocent song as others gradually join in and transform it into a show of Nazi strength – “Tomorrow belongs to me.” In the Oscar-winning musical, a couple of decadent Anglo-Saxons watches the rise of Nazism from their vantage point inside night-time lounges and champagne-soaked soirees. Warlikowski’s latest play from Warsaw in 2013 transports us back to Berlin of the 1930s; to a revue cabaret. The spectacular venue is a haven for those yearning to lose themselves in intensity and not think about the threat approaching to the tune of a military march. Could this be a warning against the resurgence of totalitarianism and the end of liberal democracy? The official premiere of “Warsaw Cabaret” is slated for 3 July at the Open’er Music Festival in Gdynia. Next, the show will head to Avignon, to Europe’s foremost theatre festival. But lucky viewers got a chance to see the play during a pre-premiere performance at the new home of Nowy Teatr – a former garbage truck garage in Mokotów transformed into a fascinatingly-raw performance space. Nazism and golden confetti The original 26 May premiere was pushed back because of an injury suffered by actress Magdalena Cielecka, who plays Sally Bowles, a girl who comes to Berlin in search of showbiz success.

In it I explore institutional archives and the metaphors of the archive as it operates in the academy, while focusing particularly on the way in which queerness may come to be archived. Throughout I use the analytic of performance. This work builds on and extends from crucial work in Queer studies, Performance Studies and Archival Studies.
