Food Noise at Dixon Place

Performance artist Glenn Marla finds that when listening closely to his own “food noise” there is an meaningful, magical and weird universe to discover. Glenn invites you to join him in the Dixon Place Lounge where hewill share writing and puppets from this theater piece in development and work together with the audience to try and define “food noise” and then see if “food noise” has something important to offer. “Food Noise’ asks the audience to consider if the only way to resist our governments desire to keep us hungry is a strong commitment to being a pleasure seeking hedonist?

Glenn Marla‘s performance work focuses on themes of body liberation, gender, fat, and creatively shifting cycles of trauma. It is Glenn’s goal that their work amplifies a voice in the world that is most often quieted, dampened, or disregarded. Amplified through performance and puppets, Glenn’s is a voice that attempts honesty, humor, and vulnerability. Glenn’s solo work has toured festivals, community centers, galleries, theaters, clubs and universities across the country. When not performing their own original visual and theatrical daring, you may find them collaborating with queer art legends. Mx. Marla developed their original puppet theater piece The Wild Unwanted with St. Ann’s Warehouse Puppet Lab
