On Fixation: Performances by Angela Washko, Michelle Levy, Nathaniel Sullivan

On Fixation (3 performances on men and mythology) is a program of three performances in which performers investigate the performativity of authority and the private lives of male public figures through storytelling, multi media augmentation, love letters, readings, videos and interviews.

The performances:
"Tightrope Routines" is a storytelling performance by Angela Washko based on several months of exchanges between the self-identified feminist artist herself and a pick-up artist, author, blogger and notorious manosphere leader deemed “the web’s most infamous misogynist”. Washko's performance will be preceded by Michelle Levy’s "Come Back (phase 2)", the newest iteration of her shared exploration of the legacy of her father, the once great motivational salesman "Lucky" Levy, who has since fallen down on his luck. In the evening's opening performance "Before The Nation Went Bankrupt," Nathaniel Sullivan tells the story of the current financial crisis through the love letters super-banker Jamie Dimon. Conflating romantic love and finance, the letters are a cry in the dark form an insular world that brought us all to the brink of financial, physical and moral ruin.
