HOT+WAX: On Being Too Big To Fail : September 24th - October 23rd 2010
HOT+WAX: On Being Too Big to Fail (:: a piece in 8 bits ::), is live performance blend of the Icarus story from Greek mythology, the current economic crisis and 1980's 8-bit video games. Princess Toadstool figures prominently, as does the boy whose wings melted in the sun. Joe Knossos, the head of the troubled financial products division, dodges the Minotaur as meat falls from the sky. The piece is highly-interactive with opportunities for witnesses to play old-school video games and manipulate the direction of the story.
HOT+WAX = flying too close to the sun.
HOT+WAX = getting all the coins.
HOT+WAX = finance porno.
HOT+WAX = 8 bits vs. naughty bits.
