A Cowboy From The Bronx at Brooklyn Art Haus

In a Cowboy From the Bronx, Angelo Iodice and his alter-ego AJ Silver share the wild story of a how a Bronx native became an internationally renowned trick riding and roping star. Through multimedia and action-packed western variety acts, Iodice takes us on a personal journey from a 10-year-old discovering horseback riding in Pelham Bay Park to becoming a professional rodeo performer playing prestigious venues around the world. Iodice’s act has been featured around the globe in European cabarets, circuses, stage/musical productions as well as international TV. He was notably one of the only riders in North America to perform the dangerous stunt of passing under the belly of a galloping horse. While on the rodeo trail, Iodice learned and perfected the art of trick roping, which he now features in his high energy western variety act that also includes bullwhip artistry, comedy and the boleadoras from Argentina. AJ Silver: A Cowboy From The Bronx is made possible in part with a grant from The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and original workshop performances at Dixon Place.
