Frigid New York Hosts No.11 Productions' COOSJE 2/23-3/3
No.11 Productions is set to present the world premiere of Coosje featuring Julie Congress, Steven Conroy, and Haley Greenstein.
About the show: "Coosje is the story of two artists, husband and wife, finding their playful aesthetic together. The show is an artistic representation of the collaborative world of sculptors Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. Coosje is not a realistic portrayal of the artists, but a whimsical look at collaboration and love. We see Claes and Coosje meet, marry, create art together and, when Coosje becomes ill, escape into the fantastical world they have spent their lives creating. This journey is paired beautifully with the heroic quest of the singing Pear, who has gained consciousness and seeks to discover her purpose. The Pear travels the world searching for the meaning of life; she refuses to believe that being someone’s snack is all there is to it."
The journeys of Claes and Coosje and the Pear intertwine in this magical love story as each tries to foster a greater connection to the world.
The production staff consists of Jen Neads and Maxwell Schneller (Artwork), Olivia Wingerath (Choreography), Loring Taoka and Julie Congress (Costume Design), Enrico de Trizio (Music, Sound, and Projection Design), and Danny Tieger (Songs).
