Let's Get Personal
Also Featuring F.E.A.R. - scherzo #2
Annika B. Lewis/Vincent E. Thomas
February 19 - 21
Internationally renowned Danish performance artist Annika B. Lewis, brings her one-woman show, Let's Get Personal, to Theatre Project for three performances February 19 - 21.
The evening will also feature a performance of F.E.A.R. - scherzo #2, a work-in-progress and an international collaboration between Annika B. Lewis and Theatre Project Resident Artist Vincent E. Thomas.
Let's Get Personal is a satire performance lecture about personal optimizing, radical positioning and collective bedazzlements. It comments on the mediated "performance" society of today, the politicians' use of newspeak and the role of art in the wake of the so called experience economy.
Let's Get Personal is an absurd report from the happiest country in the world, with a personal commentary ranging somewhere between blind angles and clear views - in a fusion of physical gospel and oral pas de deux.
In Let's Get Personal, Annika B. Lewis continues her long-term project of breaking the boundaries of what dance and theatre can be, at the same time examining modern man in a challenging and entertaining way.
F.E.A.R. explores the political, social, cultural, economic, emotional, physical, medical, healing and even comical aspects of fear, and the similarities and differences of the embedded nature of fear in Denmark and the United States.
"Miss Lewis stars as an insanely chipper productivity expert who, in between politically charged monologues, leads the audience in satirical breathing exercises designed to help them reach their truer, deeper selves (which are, in the end, as gullible as their falser, shallower selves)."
"With its emphasis on programming people to be orderly and efficient in their personal and professional lives, and its reference to "Newspeak," Let's Get Personal is a darkly funny riff on George Orwell's "1984." -- Washington Times
