For all you new yorkers in the city this weekend, Infringement

[upoceg]

I thought the NY DUers would be interested in this:


One year after the RNC. New York takes itself back.

What is the Infringement? see: http://infringementfestival.com/mandate.html

Music, performance, action, puppetry, marching.

All events are at the Player's Theater Loft (115 MacDougal Street, between W. 3rd and
Minetta, 3rd floor), unless otherwise noted.

All events are pay what you can, unless otherwise noted. All money goes to the artists involved.

Thursday Sept. 1:

At Theater For The New City, 155 First Ave. (between 9th
and l0th Sts.) in Manhattan:
All are invited to attend a run-through rehearsal of HOMELAND, by Gene
Ruffini, a powerful drama about America in the near future under a
repressive regime. The run-through rehearsal -- no interruptions -- will be
held Thursday Sept. 1 at 7p. Best to get there by 6:30 pm. The play tells
the story of a librarian, his teacher wife and their gay daughter who defy the
Patriot Act, by trying to help a beautiful Indian girl who faces
incarceration as an enemy alien, and are destroyed by the totalitarian
government. The ending is stunning. The play runs Sept. 8-25, Thurs-Sat at
8 pm and Sun at 3p.

At Player's:

8:00: Mother Dis-Courage-Subversive Theatre Company http://www.subversivetheatre.org/productions/infringe_discourage/old_index.htm

9:15: KAWAISOO (THE PITY OF THINGS)-by Jason Grote, directed by
Laramie Dennis, with Kate Benson

A meditation on consumerism and globalization in the immediate
aftermath of 9/11. Ellie, a bereaved (and somewhat loopy) woman, gives a
tour of a suburban grocery store to her ex-husband, a worker for a poverty
NGO who was killed in the WTC attacks.

10PM-??, At CBGB's 313 Gallery: IFNY Kickoff party. There is a cover at this event.

KUMA (www.kumarocks.com) will play, and we would love volunteers to do short performances afterwards. a
great cabaret evening. We'll be making a performance list over the
week. Anyone can apply. It's basically a performance open mic with
advance sign up, and a great time to kick off the fest and get to know
the community of folks around you. Possible performances include "10 dollar hooker, or FDR's bathtub", and you.

The Fall of New York analyses the social, political and cultural crisis
of New York in the 1990's under the regime of Rudy Giuliani.
Der Kosmonaut takes the story and condenses his epic manuscript into a
30 minute poem with his mix of underground electronic music music
along with images of a bygone New York. The Fall of New York also
collects and mixes post
9/11 poetry and his collection of politically and socially critical
repertoire over the past decade.
