Cartharsis examines the recent global warming crisis and subsequent "green" revolution by reveling in the desire, guilt, and anxiety taxing the American conscience today. In this one-hour show, the set is designed so that the audience views the show in first-person narrative as the performance moves along in dream-like sequences; a flashy rap song in a car dealership, a Kerouacian highway infinitely unfolding itself, giant hands grasping into a black void, a psychedelic black light scene with alien overpopulation, and finally, a yoga class that powers the powerbooks that they watch as they exercise. Music by Thomas McCauley and Robin Schavoir, rap-lyprics by Hype Wonder, dance choreography by
Matthew Lutz-Kinoy.
