An attempt to fail at ground breaking theater with Pina Arcade Smith

This creation is strongly influenced by the underground Performance Art scene of New York in the 1980s. In Rizzi’s body, we encounter Penny Arcade, Andy Warhol’s teenage superstar and one of the founders of Performance Art, Pina Bausch, iconic German choreographer, and “New” Jack Smith, director of Queer and godfather of Performance Art. The use of dance, photographs, films, and a range of music helps us glimpse “New” Jack Smith’s thoughts of imminent death, pornography as comedy, the legalization of marijuana, Susan Boyle, S&M sex, and nuns.
