Awaiting Oblivion
Temporary Solutions for surviving the dystopian future we find ourselves within at present
About This Performance
Blurring the lines between fiction and reality, Awaiting Oblivion... follows the story of AO, an anonymous street artist who has tasked Emmy and Jeffrey with the creation of a performance as a way to share AO’s “temporary solutions” for existing within our collapsing empire. Inspired by creative processes developed by the '60s Fluxus art movement, each “temporary solution” is a visual/textual poem contained in a Flux-kit (a cigar box collaged with stenciled imagery and typewritten letters). We follow Emmy, Jeffrey, and AO in a flurry of street art, secret messages, and performance scores in a poetic, radical fight for survival.
