“This is the work you have to do. Ursula’s asshole. Under the sea. Butch woman. Head under. Sea weed makes you look more lady like. Choke. On this. Piece of tuna.”
A reappropriation of Genet/Fassbinder’s Querelle, Disney’s The Little Mermaid, and the Andrea Yates murder trial. An exploration of repression and alienation within the nuclear family. A psychedelic riff on the sea. In this presentation, a reading of the text (by a formidable ensemble of downtown performers, including Everett Quinton as Ursula the sea witch) is given aural and visual context through elements of movement, multimedia, and installation.
performed by Jess Barbagallo, David Commander, Heather Litteer, Mariana Newhard, Joe Petersen, Everett Quinton, and Chris Tyler
