Tickets for Sister Sylvester – Drinking Brecht | PS21’s The Dark at the Spencertown Academy
$25
Performance artist and filmmaker (and occasional amateur microbiologist) Sister Sylvester works with new technologies to make cross-species collaborations, essay films, and lecture performances. Using DNA extracted from a hat worn by actors in Bertolt Brecht’s Berliner Ensemble, Drinking Brecht is a live, illustrated essay that explores the past and present of genetics, synthetic biology, economics and theatre history.
A documentary that you can drink, the work ingests worn-out scientific narratives and turns them into a new ritual for our future, and a celebration of science for the people.
As part of the experience, audience members will be offered alcohol, therefore only 21+ attendees will be served.
Event Dates:
February 17, 19, and 20 at 6:30pm
