When performative motion art and gastrointestinal delights intertwine like this, your mind, soul and body get fed. A blissfully visual motivity piece, Outmigration is the collaboration between avant-garde dance/theater group Accidental Movement and visual arts team Mogollon; it’s a “dinner theater” performance in seven acts being held this week at the Brooklyn art/dining space Monkey Town.
Featuring a full company of dancers, performance artists, sound designers and even a collaboration with Monkey Town’s chef, Outmigration suggests a time when dinner theater was common, while simultaneously glowing with futuristic vicissitudes cast on the state of performance. It’s a truly brilliant experience and a forward-thought achievement. It’s best summed up in the question Outmigration asks you to ask yourself: “What would it feel like to be able to take off, defeat gravity and get drunk at the edge of space, where one can only keep moving?”
Outmigration runs from Thursday, October 18th through Sunday, October 21st and from Thursday, October 25th through Sunday, October 28th. Thursday performances are at 8:00pm and Friday, Saturday and Sunday performances are at 7:30pm and 10:00pm.
