chashama in association with Rachel Kohn presents Skin at 266 created by Rachel Kohn 266 West 37th Street July 1st - July 21st, 2006 FREE and open to the public at all times chashama is pleased to present "SKIN", an installation by Rachel Kohn. This exhibition transforms the space into an intricate, abstract landscape that the viewer can enter into. Inspired by things falling apart, pieces coming back together, sickness, surgery, vulnerability and decay, she combines all of these elements and visually romanticizes them. The result is a dramatic space expressing tremendous weight and gravitational pull.     also

**NYC PREMIER**
HE(R)EVOLUTION
conceived, written, and performed by Julia Ahumada Grob
directed by Alli Maxwell
217 East 42nd Street (between 2nd & 3rd Avenues)
July 27 & 28, 8p
July 29, 2p - FREE for Students w/ Educational Outreach Panel and Q & A with the art-ist after the show
July 29, 8p
Tickets: $10
RSVP and additional info: herevolution [at] gmail.com

He(R)evolution is a highly personal, yet universal one woman biographical show that examines the political struggles of a young woman. Themes of political activism, womanhood, spirituality, and fate weave the story together as the playwright/performer comes to understand her identity as link in a chain of women revolutionaries. Based on interviews with the playwright's parents and family friends, as well as her own memories, the actress portrays six characters, including her Jewish-American mother, Chilean father, a female Chilean political-activist, a comical "Gringo" solidarity worker, her namesake, Julia, subject of Lilian Hellman's short story "Julia," and finally herself. Sad, funny, poignant and powerful, He(R)evolution will touch both older and younger generations trying to come to terms with the politics of the time: then, now, and in the future.

After last year's sold-out run of their critically acclaimed Panel. Animal, the international and bi-coastal theatre ensemble, Banana Bag & Bodice, returns with its latest extravaganza, The Sewers.

 

"NYC theater needs them."  - Brook Stowe, theatre2k.com

 

Banana Bag & Bodice unleashes its unique brand of storytelling ? heightened, visceral language explosively clashing with a visual landscape that will make your eyes water. The Brooklyn based Banana Bag & Bodice ensemble is recognized as one of the most exciting new troupes in current American theatre. This show is a conjuring act; an entire, albeit, tiny village by the name of The Sewers mysteriously appears one night in the theatre. All the children are dead. An acid plant in a barn. A triangular shaped love tryst. This show is a tour de force by manipulation.
