“…what happens when you decide to f**k your anatomy up so hard you fall out of the system.” – The Brooklyn Rail

ABOUT

Buffy’s EXAM is a performance art pop concert as anatomical theatre, stripping the tendons of America’s transsex-obsessed musculature and exposing its bones for sensory examination under the harsh glow of neon lights.
 
Composed as a suite of performances, three evenings and one afternoon of distinct productions can be attended as individual events or in sequence. Each performance of EXAM will feature an ensemble of collaborators working across new media and methods.

The evening concerts—EXAM: Antemortem, EXAM: Perimortem, and EXAM: Postmortem—will feature a different guest collaborator each night while Sunday’s performance of EXAM: Electroanalysis will function as an epilogue to the previous nights.
