About dirty mean tricks
Come take a haunted carousel ride between the lines of reality and imagination in dirty mean tricks, a provocative interplay between music and movement. Comic tragedy blends with pop of the absurd in this cocktail of experimental choreography and live music by Velvet Monkey. Like a hall of mirrors, dancer and musician reflect one another to reveal the dirty mean tricks we play on ourselves when trapped by longing, obsession, and the monkey business inside our own minds.
dirty mean tricks is directed by Jennifer Li and choreographed in collaboration with featured dancers Hassan Christopher and Marissa Labog. Cast includes Sharyn Gabriel, Erika Jensen, and Uma Nithipalan. Live music by Velvet Monkey features music and lyrics by Marc Jackson. Design team includes set and lighting design by Laura Mroczkowski; costume design by Jamie Hebert, Ryan Heffington, Abby Nieto, Vanessa Porter; sound design by Marc Jackson; puppets by Michelle Zamora. Heleya de Barros produces.
