Embarrassed of the Whole: PPL Present You Panoply Performance Laboratory

About This Show

PPL’s latest opera Embarrassed of the Whole is a series of generative processes researching relationships between self-recognition and social construction. At Dixon Place, responses to an online survey, similar to those found on sites like Buzzplay, is used to directly score and formulate an all-new live opera.

About the Artists

Panoply Performance Laboratory (PPL) performs operations designed by Esther Neff and Brian McCorkle. Taking forms such as a 7-week evolving culture (Momenta Art), a silviculture museum (chashama), a diner-as-opera (Gruentaler9 in Berlin), a garden-park-zoo (University Settlement, Grace Exhibition Space) an “ideal institution” (LPAC, the cell) and a month-long “Relational March” across the USA, PPL works across disciplines and modes. Other projects have been shown as part of Hitparaden (Copenhagen, DK), Month of Performance Art Berlin, ISSUE Project Room (NYC), Defibrillator (Chicago), and the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit, in many contexts around the world and online. PPL is also a space in Brooklyn.
