 Anger/Nation         Fluke         Inflatable Frankenstein         Whatever, Heaven Allows

RADIOHOLE
Anger/Nation

Synopsis:
Anger/Nation explores the contradictory puritanical and hedonistic underpinnings of the American psyche by colliding the psychedelic aesthetic of occult filmmaker Kenneth Anger with the histrionic escapades of self-proclaimed 'America's Loving Home Defender', Carrie A. Nation, a remarkable 19th-century, hatchet-wielding temperance crusader. Radiohole uses miniature floating video monitors, Post-it® notes, licorice, and a healthy dose of fairy dust to conjure up a 'pleasuredome' populated by an unpredictable melange of questionable characters ranging from random Roman centurions to male cherubs, who force Carrie A. Nation to wield her hatchet against sin and degradation only to then find herself in the grips of a voluptuous spiritual transformation of her own.

RADIOHOLE
Inflatable Frankenstein

Synopsis:
In the world premiere of Inflatable Frankenstein from Radiohole, one of New York's most tenacious and beloved ensembles explores the cultural legend of Frankenstein - everyone's metaphor for nearly everything. Source material includes Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, James Whale's classic Frankenstein films, details from Mary Shelley's tragic life, the work of Antonin Artaud and parts of over 100 "Frankenstein" films. Inflatable Frankenstein is blood chilling and completely strange; filled with whimsical creature fantasy, technological absurdity, electric air and bodily fluids.

Notes:
Inflatable Frankenstein is created and performed by Maggie Hoffman, Eric Dyer, Erin Douglass, Joseph Silovsky and Mark Jaynes along with DJ Shark, Blood Woofer and The Creature Without Organs.

RADIOHOLE
Whatever, Heaven Allows

Synopsis:
Whatever, Heaven Allows is a star-spangled American meta-melodrama inspired by film director Douglas Sirk's 1950s potboilers-namely his 1955 film All That Heaven Allows-and Milton's epic Paradise Lost. From there, Radiohole picks the points from which to jump, and the show does jump-far. Our heroine is an all-American "Eve" who must save her home from an evil-doer while struggling to find fulfillment in a lasting relationship with a supposedly good man who looks like god. Whatever, Heaven Allows is as much epic poem as raucous party; the stage becomes a playground of video, text, movement, and objects, a morphing world in which audience minds can play. It evokes, as one of the actors says during the show, the feeling of "falling out of the world a little at a time." But you are brought back, as much by the high-tech prowess as the lo-tech chaos complete with the usual, beer-drinking fun.
