Red handle's [1] Yellow Electras
PERFORMANCE: July 10 - 19 $17
Ontological-Hysteric Incubator [2]
Red handle creates and presents live performances that crash through boundaries of media, genre, storytelling, and audience.
Red handle's newest remaking creates a new template for an old myth, mixing video, movement, opera, and theatre in a playful series of episodes, interruptions, and entertainments. Following the success of iph.then [3] at the Ontological last summer, YELLOW ELECTRAS is a mash-up of the Electra myth and Kandinsky's Yellow Sound, and includes several Electras, a chorus, opera, dance, and sounds from Strauss, Kandinsky, and & Grizzly Bear.
