Dedicated to critical cultural production at the intersection of art and activism.

sprout‘s dinner-theater series continues this month on Wednesday, May 5th.  The theme for this month’s dinner is Performance and Spectacle in Public Space.

kanarinka’s “It takes 154,000 breaths to evacuate Boston”

Our performers include the following artists, thinkers, and doers ::

• Milan Kohout is a member of the Mobius artists’ group. He is a political street performer as well as a visual artist. Originally from the Czech Republic, he now teaches Tufts University and performs in the Boston area.
• John Bell is a co-founder of the HONK! Festival in Davis Square as well as the NYC-based theater company Great Small Works–as well as a co-organizer of these dinners! He will be taking a historical perspective on the theme, looking at how our relationship to public space and performance in that space has changed over time.
• kanarinka, a.k.a. Catherine D’Ignazio, an artist and educator, will discuss her project It takes 154,000 breaths to evacuate Boston, and examine the role that fear can play in public space, especially in the form of public transport awareness campaigns, terror simulations in public space, and so on.

It will be happening just outside of Davis Square in Somerville, MA, at sprout (339R Summer St.) on Wednesday May 5 with dinner at 7:30PM and performances beginning at 8. A $10 suggested donation will help us cover expenses.
