SUMMARY:”Exploring what happens when the comforts of one’s world are left behind for an intense pleasure-consumed existence, this tale of overwhelming sensations and going beyond limitations immerses four characters in a world where dance & gesture become communication, and layered projections create scenic environments. The integrated elements of this production include performance, video, text, dance & experimental puppetry.”
SUMMARY:” My name is Zach (ZAK) Galifianakis (GAL IF a nakis). Thanks for visiting my site. About me: I am from the foothills of North Carolina. I like teeth. I like croissants. I like when old men at picnics say “pull my finger.” I like when ivy overtakes trees. I like watching people miscommunicate. I like how America used to be, before it got crazy with false pride. I dislike guys who wear two cell phones. I dislike fake Christmas trees. I don’t understand those who read People magazine. Nor do I understand 0% financing. I do understand the attraction to corn-dogs.”

SUMMARY:”A historiological / sociological walking tour / bar hop that compares and contrasts the gang culture of NY in the 1850s with the pukn rockers of 1977. The principal underlying thesis being that the ONLY thing separating these two extraordinarily disparate cultures is 125 years and electricity. And since its a bar crawl, after a couple of pints, you believe me!”
