EXAM – May 8-11
“…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 stripping the tendons of America’s transsex-obsessed musculature, exposing its bones for sensory examination under the harsh glow of neon lights. Serpentine, rapturous, lurid, burning, and brutal, EXAM pairs familiar forms with deviant methods to test the limits of possibility in experimental performance.
Created 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 media and forms.
