Announced today is the world premiere concert presentation of Trump L'oeil, a musical experience blending the elements of the Trompe-l'œil art form with the dizzying narratives to have come out of the previous administration. Created by Henry Biggs, Trump L'oeil will play a two-night engagement on Friday, September 24 and Saturday, September 25, both at 8pm, at the Florence Gould Hall at FIAF (55 East 59th Street) - around the corner from Trump Tower.
Life hilariously imitates art as Trump and his presidency are marched through Escher's stairwell, Magritte's apples, Dali's melting clocks and other iconic trompe-l'œil and surrealist art. Trump L'oeil takes the text along for the ride as the songs turn out themselves also to be spectacular trompe-l'œil illusions. A rollicking romp that pokes fun at both sides of the aisle. "I realized early on that Trump was a tool, if you will, and that he could serve the musical form and art surprisingly well. People tell me that this show is awesome in its catharticness - the pandemic has just been rough on all of us and this is that light at the end of the tunnel that puts it all in perspective. Ultimately, I think people will be surprised how playful it is, and how well all of the art integrates with the story," said creator Henry Biggs.Videos
