The Exponential Festival and The Brick present Natural Studies by thingNY August 15–17 8PM $20 - $50

thingNY returns to the Brick with a double bill made up of Joseph White‘s You Against Nature and their latest collectively written opus, Mouthful. Presented in conjunction with To tongue-tie: a multimedia gallery show curated by alejandro t. acierto with Paul Pinto.

You Against Nature is the first opera from White and is based on the French decadent classic, Against Nature. It is a tale of modern day self-isolation, attempts at life-hacking, and nihilistic indulgence taken to extraordinary lengths.

Mouthful is situated in the orbit of a large communal table and explores ancestry, lineage, and linguistic transmission through food and digestion, through blood, and through community and family structures.

performed by alejandro t. acierto, Gelsey Bell, Isabel Castellvi, Andrew Livingston, Paul Pinto, Erin Rogers, and Dave Ruder

Running Time: 120 Minutes
