MINQ VAADKAʼS

NARCISCHISM -Un Cabaret dʼAdieu  

NY, NY - Aug 2011. Neo-Burlesque Cabaret-Rockstar, MINQ VAADKA, returns to the stage with a new mind-bending live show from director

Chantel Pascente. Equal parts concert spectacle and musical narrative,        MINQ VAADKAʼS NARCISCHISM- Un Cabaret dʼAdieuis a hyper-stylized journey deep into the psyche of a tortured performance artist.  

Premiering exclusively at The Robert Moss Theatre, the production will explore our twisted protagonist’s struggle with a crippling bipolar personality as he performs an epic farewell concert. We will observe him as he fights his work, craves success and becomes his own worst enemy in an attempt to find a sort of glory and fame. There will also be free beer.

On stage, MINQ VAADKA will be joined by his hardass girlfriend Horseradish (Barrie McLain) and his sidekick and one man electronic band (Ryan Maeker), as well as featured guests including DoctorPrincess Lady Scoutington, Peter Aguero of the legendary BTK Band and Dane Johanson of the renowned Escher String Quartet.

The directorial elegance of Teff Nichols and aesthetically corrupt choreography & movement by

Grace Courvoisier & Taylor Donofrio, come to the fore in this adamantly honest interpretation

of the original text. Beautifully designed raw sound and space installation by Jonathan Cottle,

Ryan Maeker and Colleen Toole.

“My mother fit words together that did not belong together, like heart-flesh, like

night-song.”

"at Sixes & Sevens"

Sixes and Sevens- an idiom to describe a state of confusion or disarray.

The creation of “at Sixes & Sevens” started with the concept of self-realization.  Using the archetype of a 1950s housewife, just left by her husband, Ms. Kernaghan and her dance ensemble deconstruct the process in which each of us continue to define and redefine ourselves:  Asking the question, do we really shape ourselves or does the world do it for us. As realities and worlds start to shift, the character, and audience loose track of what is real and what is not. In this murky existence is where raw impulsive movement will start to explore the real composition of this woman--who she really is, how to identify her, and what is she in the world when her reason to live leaves her...
