Blurring the lines between fiction and reality, Awaiting Oblivion...follows the story of AO, an anonymous street artist who has tasked Tim 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 '60’s 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 Tim, Jeffrey, and AO in a flurry of street art, secret messages, and performance scores in a poetic, radical fight for survival.
Featured Collaborators: Estee Clifford, Alice Gosti, Alex Harding, Lauren Hester, Alyza DelPan-Monley, Tristan Roberson, Salo, and Skylar Tatro.
Awaiting Oblivion... is commissioned and supported through the OtB Performance Production Program.
