HOUNDSTOOTH To Play Cannonball Festival
Performances run September 17th, 20th, and 26th.
Vanessa Kamp brings Houndstooth, a 60-minute interdisciplinary performance, to this year’s Cannonball festival September 17th, 20th, and 26th at Icebox.
Familiar objects are inverted and become the agents of new sonic territories; a wayward speedwalker bares all in a hottt striptease; an aspiring backwoods man’s strutting makes the space feel too small; an enigmatic clubgoer gives a poignant nod to contemporary French cinema; maybe we’re in some guy’s garage where he’s the dj.
Multiple characters transit and inhabit sensorial spaces and soundscapes where themes of touch are at once literal and expansive, and act as catalysts to create simple, lush, and elegantly surreal passages and scenes. Unadorned analog technologies create unexpected and immersive visuals and sound where action unfolds in diverse registers ranging from humor to drag to the surreal.
Performances run September 17, 2026 8.00pm, September 20, 2026 8.00pm and September 26, 2026 6.30pm at Icebox Project Space located at 1400 N American St. Tickets are on sale now: https://phillyfringe.org/events/houndstooth/. General Admission: $25
