Perishable Theatre Resident Artists Presentation
Poste Restante: the Post Office Never Looked So Sexy
Providence, RI- Perishable, RI’s Research & Development Theatre
Resident Artists at Perishable Theatre, Tim Gallagher and Bonnie Duncan perform as They Gotta Be Secret Agents in “Poste Restante: the Post Office Never Looked So Sexy”. With only 3 performances over AS220 Foo Fest weekend, audiences can catch the show on Friday night or as part of the Foo Fest.
What will The Secret Agents do with an anonymous package, cardboard box bikinis, a few handwritten letters, a bicycle with wings, and one mysterious vinyl record? Could it possibly involve inanimate object domination, acrobatic knots, full-throttle origami and a cocoa pop?
In this show, Tim and Bonnie will immerse you into simply constructed worlds that distort the grand themes of time, scale, and reality. Short segments of video, acrobatics, puppetry, and theatre flow into one another and spin together touching moments with humorous ones. Tim and Bonnie’s movement has been called “Breathtakingly simple.” –The Boston Globe. There is something for everyone at a Secret Agents show.
Poste Restante: the Post Office Never Looked So Sexy is part of the RAPT, or Resident Artists at Perishable Theatre Program, which supports the development of projects over 1 to 3 years by mid-career theatre artists.
“The RAPT program was born from the desire to create a community for performance artists and to create a venue for the creation of ground-breaking works for the stage,” Perishable Artistic Director Vanessa Gilbert says. Since May 2006, Perishable has provided RAPT artists with a venue for exploration as well as rehearsal space and showing opportunities. Work in Progress showings throughout the development process provide invaluable feedback to the artists as they work toward full production. Other productions by Perishable Resident Artists include Charlotte Meehan’s Sweet Disaster and last season’s hit The Thing That Ate My Brain…Almost by neo-burlesque artist Amy Lynn Budd
The RAPT program is supported by the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts.
