UPCOMING PERFORMANCES: JUNE 28, 29, 30
Git Along Lil Doggies

The Performing Garage presents
GIT ALONG LIL DOGGIES, a meditative cowboy dance-drama about the spiritual imprint of the windswept landscape of the American west.
The piece commingles elements of William S. Burroughs' novel The Place of Dead Roads, with short stories by Annie Proulx, country-western line dance, and gay pornography.


"director-designer-choreographer Yvan Greenberg's deceptive vision....affords some truly original moments...'Doggies' is impressively immersive" —The L Magazine

Info on reserving tickets to come soon. Performances will take place June 28–30 at
The Performing Garage, 33 Wooster Street, NYC.

More on this limited return engagement...

Divine

Director/Choreographer Yvan Greenberg & Laboratory Theater are now resident artists
at HERE. As part of the HERE Artist Residency Program (HARP), we will be developing and producing our new piece, GENET PORNO.

GENET PORNO is based on Jean Genet's 1943 novel, Our Lady of the Flowers, which follows the loves and betrayals of a transvestite prostitute named Divine. In our attempt to stage the "impossible ballet" of Divine's life, her story unfolds within a modern-day gay porn video shoot and incorporates present-day narrative elements from the confessional blog of a real-life porn star. Their stories merge as GENET PORNO explores our 21st Century culture of narcissism and the consequences that result from blurring the lines between our public and private lives.

You can follow our process as we develop the piece by checking out our project page on the HERE website.
