PS122 Hosts London Performance Troupe's 'C'est Duckie!'

Performance Space 122 imports London-based performance troupe Duckie and their smash hit, C'est Duckie!, the Olivier Award-Winning, interactive nightclub performance experience, for a wild and absolutely outrageous alternative to traditional holiday fare.  

Starring in C'est Duckie are Marisa Carnesky, Joshua Sofaer, Kazuko Hohki and Miss High Leg Kick.  Patrons should note, a dress code of swanky evening attire is recommended in order to fully complement and experience the (somewhat questionably) glamorous surroundings…

Following sold-out seasons in London, Sydney, Berlin, and Toyko, C'est Duckie!, "London's Table Top Christmas Performance Palais," serves up a menu of daring, delectable and devious entertainments that result in tailor-made, table-top shows from a top class talent troupe of soubrettes, hoofers, and starlets from the London performance scene as well as special guest artists from New York City including Taylor Mac, Jessica Delfino, Dynasty Handbag and Peggy Shaw (1 special guest per show)

Armed with Duckie dollars upon entering, guests at each table can order from a show menu of craftily titled "acts" at will.  Shows include a variety of theatrical fare – vaudeville, ventriloquism, balloon modeling, broken down burlesque - with over 30 kunst-cabaret turns from the suggestive to the transgressive to the downright offensive.

Pitching popular commercial entertainment against contemporary performance provocation, Duckie proves that Performance Art is the new table dancing in this all-singing, all-dancing shameless crowd-pleaser.
