protest
by Peter Kim George
protest explores the conflict of having a conscience and a body. Catherine walks barefoot from Providence, Rhode Island to Perris, California, updating her video blog daily, beset by online trolls, swollen feet, too many bananas, boredom, laughter, poverty, crying. A good tip: stay on the painted white line when walking on the road barefoot, it’s cooler and smoother. protest ran at The Tank (NYC) Feb 9, 11, 12 and Prop Thtr (Chicago) Feb 15-16.

“Protest reveals itself to be a nightmare of body, ambition, and praxis, augmented and manipulated by the digital world, and grounded by the crumbling material world, sucked up and crushed into a void both political and personal.”
a response to the Tank production of protest by Kyle Turner.
