Passive Aggressive Novelty Company to Premiere A.VANISHING.POINT, 4/8-9

By:

Passive Aggressive Novelty Company will present the premiere of a.vanishing.point at AS220's Black Box, on April 8th and 9th. Conceived and performed by Providence-based artist, Andy Russ, this multi-disciplinary work weaves together movement, sound, text, and image into an intimate, immersive audience experience that blurs the boundaries between dance, theatre, and performance art. Start time is at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $15. Tickets are are on sale now thru Brown Paper Tickets [ http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1369730 ]

a.vanishing.point is a meditation and a provocation, a "physical poem" composed of elements at once familiar and foreign. A chair, a book, a body, an ocean, a gesture, a song - these elements are repeated, rearranged and turned inside out, ignoring narrative logic in favor of "meaning" that is gained or lost within the resonance between sensory combinations.

Russ: "My work is made to be consumed like a multi course meal. Thinking about the food is of course part of the experience; but tasting is central."

This is the second piece by Russ to be premiered in RI, following last summer's performance of little engines of proof at the Providence Fringe Festival.

Passive Aggressive Novelty Company presents a.vanishing.point at AS220's Black Box, 95 Empire St in Providence, RI on Wednesday, April 8th at 7pm and Thursday, April 9th at 7pm. Tickets are $15. Seating is limited. For advance ticket sales, visit Brown Paper Tickets at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1369730.
