Catharine Dill’s curatorial statement:
Theater company Radiohole has created an incredible body of work from a series of unpredictable vacillations between chaos and order and an uncanny mix of physical danger and technological virtuosity. Puppeteer Amanda Villalobos is known for her disarming shifts in tone, rhythm and scale and her expansive mastery of disparate materials. These artists share complex relationships with objects on stage (whether they are decorative, utilitarian, found or fabricated), a flair for dark humor and, most importantly, a distinctively transgressive aesthetic. Radiohole will be presenting excerpts from their work Frankenstein – a work they describe as “.. about flows. Flows of air and fluid. And surfaces; the thin membranes of polypropelyne (plastic bags) forming the surfaces of bodies, the wet surfaces of organs…pretty sure they will work but maybe not…” Amanda will show us parts of her toy-theater project about lesbian nuns in the 70s. Both offer the possibility of change accident, and upturned expectations.
