FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 12, 2016 the Performing Garage FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 12, 2016 The Performing Garage Presents: Radiohole's TARZANA Production Dates: February 11 – February 14, 2016 New York, NY— Legendary, award-winning experimental theater company Radiohole will present advance showings of Tarzana at The Performing Garage. A comic book comes alive on the stage: Tarzana is a collaboration with award-winning playwright and screenwriter Jason Grote ('Mad Men') who was commissioned by Radiohole to write text for the work. Influenced by film-makers such as Alejandro Jodorowsky and David Lynch and the New York Punk scene of the 1970s and early 80’s, Tarzana unfolds in a hand- drawn landscape following the misadventures of a guilt-ridden Superman, Two Non Blondes and architect of the Terror, Robespierre. What comes to pass is surreal mayhem in true Radiohole tradition: an uproarious, bacchanalian, beautiful mess. Be warned: there will be karaoke. And blood. CALENDAR INFORMATION Performing Arts | Theater WHAT Radiohole's Tarzana WHO Created by Radiohole (Erin Douglass, Eric Dyer, Maggie Hoffman and Scott Halvorsen Gillette) from a script by Jason Grote. Performed by Radiohole with Amanda Bender, Ryan Holsopple and special guests. WHEN February 11- February 14 Performance Days Thursday-Saturday at 8pm Sunday at 7pm Running Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes WHERE The Performing Garage | 33 WOOSTER STREET | NEW YORK, NY 10013 TICKETS $15-25 at www.theperforminggarage.org ABOUT RADIOHOLE “Yuck, what a mess. What a sticky, goopy, embarrassing, all-over-the-place and absolutely necessary mess." –Ben Brantley, The New York Times Over the years, Radiohole has earned a reputation as one of New York’s most tenacious and uncompromising ensembles. Known for daring productions that synthesize elaborate visual design, powerful thematic material, and audacious performance, Radiohole has been called the “leading innovator in New York’s third wave of avant-garde theater” by Time Out New York. Since the company's inception in a Brooklyn basement in 1998 the company has created more than 11 original works which have toured both nationally and internationally, and are presented at New York City venues including Performance Space 122, The Kitchen, and the Collapsable Hole. Radiohole's awards and commissions include Mass Live Arts, Performance Space 122, The Kitchen, The Walker Art Center, the Andy Warhol Museum and the Spalding Gray Award, among others. Their most recent work Myth (or maybe Meth) was nominated in 2014 for a Bessie award and received wide critical acclaim for their intensely stupid, painfully beautiful, and wildly uproarious revival of a play by Tom Murrin. ABOUT JASON GROTE Jason Grote is the author of the plays 1001 and Maria/Stuart . He also provided the texts for David Levine's Habit and En Garde Arts' Basetrack. His TV writing credits include Mad Men and Hannibal.

    Confrontation, Simulation, Admiration The Wooster Group’s Poor Theater Kermit Dunkelberg The punning title of The Wooster Group’s Poor Theater, shown as a work-in- progress in the spring and late fall of at the Performing Garage on Wooster Street in New York, invites many interpretations. Does it suggest the- atre that is: Poorly executed? Poorly funded? To be lamented? All of the above? Is this the Wooster Group’s retort to Grotowski’s “poor theatre” of reduced means and monastic discipline (Grotowski ), or their own version of it? The Wooster Group’s self-mocking, reverent/irreverent, high-tech/low-tech, nostalgic/derisive production questions the state of contemporary performance by trying on the styles of a vanished group (the Polish Laboratory Theatre, dis- solved in ) and a vanishing one (the Ballett Frankfurt, disbanded in August —half a year after Poor Theater had its first showing). My focus in this article is on the sections of Poor Theater that deal with Grotowski’s Polish Laboratory Theatre (–). I see the Wooster Group’s production in light of the history of reception/rejection/appropriation of Grotowski’s work in the United States. In the wake of Grotowski’s first American workshop at New York University in , Richard Schechner founded The Performance Group. In the mid-s, the Wooster Group grew out of The Performance Group, be- coming an independent entity in . Poor Theater is in part a confrontation with an ancestor. In the spring program, “The Director” noted the importance of ancestors: The writers, the great writers of the past, have been very important to me, even if I have struggled against them.

  • Performing Remains
    Performing Remains At last, the past has arrived! Performing Remains is Rebecca Schneider's authoritative statement on a major topic of interest to the field of theatre and performance studies. It extends and consolidates her pioneering contributions to the field through its interdisciplinary method, vivid writing, and stimulating polemic. Performing Remains has been eagerly awaited, and will be appreciated now and in the future for its rigorous investigations into the aesthetic and political potential of reenactments. Tavia Nyong’o, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. I have often wondered where the big, important, paradigm-changing book about re-enactment is: Schneider’ s book seems to me to be that book. Her work is challenging, thoughtful and innovative and will set the agenda for study in a number of areas for the next decade. Jerome de Groot, University of Manchester. Performing Remains is a dazzling new study exploring the role of the fake, the false, and the faux in contemporary performance. Rebecca Schneider argues passionately that performance can be engaged as what remains, rather than what disappears. Across seven essays, Schneider presents a forensic and unique examination of both contemporary and historical performance, drawing on a variety of elucidating sources including the “America” plays of Linda Mussmann and Suzan-Lori Parks, performances of Marina Abramovic´ and Allison Smith, and the continued popular appeal of Civil War reenactments. Performing Remains questions the importance of representation throughout history and today, while boldly reassessing the ritual value of failure to recapture the past and recreate the “original.” Rebecca Schneider is Chair of the Department of the Theatre Arts and Performance Studies at Brown University.
