Photo Flash: Victor Morales' QUANTUM JOY Begins Tonight at Dixon Place
Dixon Place's commission, Victor Morales' QUANTUM JOY, will have its world premiere on Friday, December 4th at 7:30 PM. Critically acclaimed visual artist and performer Victor Morales is one of the most extraordinary performers experimenting with video gaming today, whose shows have been performed throughout the US & Europe. QUANTUM JOY will play six performances only -- tonight, December 4th, 5th, 11th, 12th, 18th, and 19th at 7:30PM, at Dixon Place (161A Chrystie Street). BroadwayWorld has a first look at the show below!
QUANTUM JOY, combines theatre and visual art in an exploration of gaming environments, where glitches, errors, and bugs are transformed into dramatic and comedic real time renditions. Morales takes his audiences for a ultimate digital performance ride, where particle robots, computer vision and mapped dynamic projections are used to answer important and universal questions about purpose in art and life.
Victor Morales' experience as puppeteer and theatre performer adds a humorous and humanizing touch to his digital creations. The artist interacts with his digital environments, as they exist in the way they would with traditional puppets and sets. Hi-tech medium notwithstanding, the storytelling is at the core of the project.
Tickets are $16 in advance, $20 at the door, and $12 for seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.dixonplace.org or by calling 866-811-4111. The Dixon Place Lounge is open before and after the show. Proceeds directly support Dixon Place's artists and mission. Dixon Place is located at 161A Chrystie Street (between Rivington and Delancey), in Manhattan's Lower East Side (By subway: F to 2nd Ave, J/Z to Bowery, 6 to Spring St, M to Essex St).
