BRIC Presents WOW, Now thru 2/1
by BWW News Desk - January 23, 2014
BRIC continues its inaugural season in the newly opened BRIC Arts | Media House (BRIC House), the organization's new 40,000-square-foot multi-disciplinary facility in Downtown Brooklyn, and presents work-in-progress performances of WOW, an experimental opera by Fort Greene residents Joe Diebes, Christian Hawkey and David Levine developed, in part, during a BRIC House Fireworks Residency. All three artists are known for trying to radically rethink or reinvent their respective backgrounds: musical composition (Diebes), poetry (Hawkey), and theater (Levine). And although they have, in the past, collaborated in pairs, the only form in which all three could share their drive for reinvention was, perhaps, the oldest multimedia spectacle of them all: opera. And, for their subject? The story of Milli Vanilli, a manufactured German pop duo whose spectacular rise and fall has become an American legend.
