Flat Earth, The: Wheredafffhuck Did New York Go?
Synopsis:
annie Lanzillotto leads the hunt for a spiritual New York, taking the Dixon Place audience on a journey down the block and around the corner to Prince and Elizabeth Streets, where, sitting atop the corner blue mailbox, her narrative weaves a palimpsest of the geology of Manhattan and how it supports the current condo construction on that corner over where the old mozzarElla maker used to be. Just how far down is the Manhattan Schist we stand and build upon? Her narrative creates a relic of a 'real New Yorker'. Is New York for New Yorkers anymore? Where can a New Yorker go? How can a New Yorker stay? Were New Yorkers asking themselves these same questions a hundred years ago? Lanzillotto overlays the questions of eras past trying to find her own New York, easily shifting between descriptions of tectonic plates and Manhattan Schist, statistics of accidents between horses and cars in 1950, and today's numbers of evicted. Surreal visions deconstructing urban planning, offer a Fellini-esque look at old New York, and posit creative solutions for the future to where the evicted just might go and what they might create, citing the history of the creation of Venice by a bunch of refugees on the run from the Barbarians.
