With “irrepressible energy and engaging presence” (NY Times), ground-breaking performer & one of the infamous NEA-4, John Fleck has been a prominent theatrical figure since grant funding for his work was questioned in a lawsuit against the National Endowment for the Arts in 1990. The LA Times raved, Fleck “is an expert at riling the unconscious & releasing the repressed like bats in a belfry.”
Hot off a critically-acclaimed run in LA, Blacktop Highway comes to Dixon Place for its East Coast premiere. A horrifying, hysterical tale of taxidermy, transformation & caged creatures, this reinvented gothic horror screenplay is staged onto Fleck’s body. Inspired by classic horror cinema & Freud’s theories of mind & ego, Fleck weaves video with theatrical movement & remarkable vocal qualities, leading the audience into a darkly hilarious world.
This Dixon Place commission is made possible with public funds from NY State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov Andrew Cuomo & the NY State Legislature, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
