To Weave Blue (Poema al tejido) @ The Martha and Robert Fogelman Galleries of Contemporary Art
Feb 14 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm

Six contemporary artists and poets from Guatemala present work related to weaving. They consider the production of textiles as a site for knowledge, language transmission, and cultural tradition within Maya communities. Seen together, these artists’ works in textile, video, poetry, performance, and installation encompass ways of understanding history, relationships, legacies of violence, and survival.

Synopsis: The Marquis de Sade is put in an asylum for his sadomasochistic pornographic writing. The asylum is overseen by the Abbe de Coulmier . After confiscating the Marquis’ quills and paper, the Abbe is surprised to find lascivious new stories circulating in public. The source? A lusty young seamstress named Madeleine has been smuggling material out of the asylum. The Abbe is driven to increasingly desperate acts to silence the Marquis.
Winner of an Obie Award. “…Doug Wright’s raffish new comedy, part theater of the ridiculous, part comedy of manners and part Grand Guignol, successfully blends intentional archness, grotesque exaggeration and bold humor to create a theatrical experience of real wit.” —NY Times. “Exuberant theater-making…gory, depraved, revolting and—uh-oh—sentimental. On top of all that, the play has something to say about censorship and what happens when you try to suppress art…Smirky, gross-out fun with a purpose. It’s an amazing show.” —Variety. “Cunningly structured and gorgeously written, with every phrase turned to a high, gleaming polish. Quills is a superb piece of writing.” —Village Voice
