SKIN
Broken Box Mime Theater
Written and performed by Broken Box Mime Theaer (BKBX)
Artistic Director Becky Baumwoll
Broken Box Mime Theater (BKBX) activates their unique reinvention of throwback French pantomime to present a 90-minute collection of all-new stories that riff on the many layers of Skin: color, consent, border, point of contact, identity, a molting snake. There will be a Brooklyn beard competition, a dance of romance, and a sitcom gone awry. There will be wrestling and zombies. There will be lights, original music, and bodies telling each narrative, weaving them all into a singular evening of activated imagination and a dive into the deep deep.
Our kick-off toast is Saturday, January 19; weeknight performances will be followed by an Out Loud series, featuring various community leaders in discussion with the show; January 25 is singles night (get a drink on the house and a reserved seat with other singles!); Sundays January 27 and February 3 are Relaxed Performances for noise-making in the theater; Saturday, February 2 is followed by a bubbly toast for Donor Night. Accessibility details are on our website.
The Neurology of the Soul
Untitled Theater Company No. 61
Written and directed by Edward Einhorn
A new play by Edward Einhorn examining the nexus between neuroscience, marketing, art, and love. Set at a neuromarketing firm, it follows a neuroscientist who is trying to scientifically define love ; his wife, an artist who is using her brain scans as the basis of video self-portraits; a marketer who is trying to apply the science of love to advertising; and a gallery owner who deals with art as a commodity. This multimedia production continues Untitled Theater Company No. 61’s ongoing interest in combining theater with the fields of economics and neuroscience.
Show and ticketing information TBA.
