Mr and Mrs Smith would like to invite you for dinner and aperitifs.
AT HOME WITH MR AND MRS SMITH is a collaboration between Birgitta Hosea and Matt Wicks in which they perform live through cartoon avatars as part of the UpStage 090909 Festival. Loosely inspired by Ionescu's 'Bald Primadonna', this cyberformance invites audience participation to explore the random and meaningless nature of polite conversation. Performance times: 10am, 4.30pm (tbc) and 9.30pm (UK time GMT) --------------------------------------------------------------- 090909 UPSTAGE FESTIVAL 9th September 2009 13 live online performances devised by artists traversing 9 different time zones SCHEDULE OF EVENTS: http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=463 Watch live performances on the internet!
