Description
Highways Artistic Director Leo Garcia presents DANCEGOOD.DAMNIT’s Die Muthafuckah Die!!! (a eulogy), a night of performance for the perpetually brokenhearted. Jackie Onassis, mass suicide, and karaoke team up with Tina Turner and collected love letters in a failed attempt at acceptance of love's relentless persistence and the inescapable reality of constant death.
Conceived and directed by Los Angeles based performance artist Gregory Barnett, Die Muthafuckah Die!!! Features an army of dancers, actors, strippers, and sex workers who exist in a world where intimacy and pain are inextricably linked, the characters surviving in purgatory with hopes of eventual fulfillment. Featured pieces include, "I Scream So Loud You'd Think My Hymen Was Intact," "Suite Like A Sucker (sucker like an idiot)," and "I Love The Way You Keep Your Eyes Closed During Sex."
