The Dress Show Presents Vignettes Based On Cultural Experience 5/20 At Prop Thtr
By: Gabrielle Sierra May. 20, 2009
The Dress Show is a performance inspired by the contemporary rituals that mark a woman's life and the dresses that come to emblemize those experiences. Using dresses as cultural artifacts and the starting point of our work the company created vignettes based on their experiences and the stories of women interviewed for the piece. The result blurs the line between a sketch comedy like theatricality and performance art creating an evening of unique quirky theatre.
