Micro-Mini Maxi Mystery Theater:
Sunday, April 29 – 7pm
Micro-Mini Maxi Mystery Theater is a trilogy of movement studies begun in 1999 exploring science fiction/fantasy environs through non-linear narrative, exaggerated breath, distorted sound, hyper-femininity, and high energy repetitive physical movement. Initially conceived and performed by J Dellecave, in this incarnation the trilogy is united and scrambled in collaboration with Daniel Lang/Levitsky, a pod, and a clump.
