“Psychojelly: Oh, These Bulgarian Shoes!” was a multidisciplinary performance: part devised theatre, part concert, part video installation, part performance art, and dance presented in Spring 2012 at BigSkyWorks (Brooklyn NY) Dir. by Cole Wimpee (Aztec Economy) and featuring collaborative work from Weasel Walter (Drums - The Flying Luttenbachers), Nonoko Yashida + Joe Merola (Cello + Alto Sax - Den Svarta Fanan), Esther Neff + Brian McCorkle + Arla Berman + Bonnie Kane (”Photons Be Free”* - Panoply Performance Lab), Sean Berman (Video Installation), John Lockie + Mike Morgan + Richard Hoffman (Drums + Guitar + Bass - SIGHTINGS) Julie Mortgentaler, Adam Laten Willson, Adam Belvo, and Nick Capodice (performers, Aztec Economy), with Casey Wimpee’s (playwright) text detailing a narrative involving radioactive jelly, turtle eggs, floppy discs, James Bond, and cold war escapism set in Bulgaria in the 1980s. *PPL’s 2012 piece attempts to provide a crucial platform for the voices of photon, electrons, and other enslaved particles (dear ones), as they shuffle together for warmth, scream their despair into ears too large and crude to understand, and riot across the spectrum in a haze of elementary self-organization. Originally cheap propaganda for the Hologram Liberation Front written by The Doctor (Joe).
