Transition

2/15/13
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Transition. Transition is an absurd yet addictive mix of stereophonic effects, live video, geometric movement and improvisation created by comedic musician Reggie Watts and playwright/director Tommy Smith. Watts' many talents—standup comedian, former front man of rock band Maktub, R&B soul singer and experimental performer—have made him an audience favorite at venues and festivals around the world. In recent years his collaborations with Smith, including performances at The Public Theater's Under the Radar Festival (NYC) and the 2009 Sydney Festival, have received rave reviews from critics and audiences.

American Utopias

2/15/13
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Paramount Center
Mainstage
http://artsemerson.org

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents American Utopias. Controversial monologist Mike Daisey in his newest work paints a distinctly American vision of utopia—how we create public spaces in which we come together to act out our dreams of a better world. Daisey takes us all over the map to pursue the story: from Disney World and its nostalgic theme park perfection, to the drug-fueled anarchic excesses of Burning Man, to Zuccotti Park, where in the unlikeliest place the Occupy movement was born. Gun-play, giant glittery dildos, raving animatronic presidents and brutal police actions come together to paint the stark landscape of our new American dream.

Swimming to Cambodia

2/15/13
9:00 pm - 10:30 pm
Paramount Center
Bright Family Screening Room

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Swimming to Cambodia. Actor and raconteur Spalding Gray delivers his acclaimed monologue Swimming to Cambodia for the camera. Slipping in history and socio-political context of the political turmoil Cambodia was experiencing at the time, Gray recounts his experience as an extra on the Sam Waterston film The Killing Fields filmed on location. A modern master of language and story, Gray's riveting tale speaks to the power of storytelling and importance of using the arts—theatre in particular—to bring about social awareness.
