Laboratory Theater’s critically acclaimed 2010 work is a meditative, cowboy dance-drama about the spiritual imprint of the windswept landscape of the American west. In an impressionistic narrative drawn from a variety of sources, two outlaws on the trail of an old adversary take work as jewel thieves for a washed up brothel madam. In a chance encounter with a traveling magician, they locate their enemy and conjure the violent forces of nature through sex-magic to take revenge.

GIT ALONG LIL DOGGIES 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. The performance unfolds against a projected video landscape of repainted Marlboro cigarette TV commercials and within an immersive soundscape incorporating country-western recordings from the 1920’s–30’s and contemporary new age music for pedal steel guitar.

Directed by Yvan Greenberg, and featuring Corey Dargel, Oleg Dubson,
Wil Smith, and Sammy Tunis

GIT ALONG LIL DOGGIES premiered at The Brick Theater in Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY, October 14–30, 2010. The piece was developed in part through in-progress performances at Dixon Place in February 2009. The role of Salt Chunk Mary was originally developed with and performed by Sheila Donovan.
