Lisa Fagan and Lena Engelstein: Friday Night Rat Catchers

The experimental dance-theater duo of Lisa Fagan and Lena Engelstein (Deepe Darknesse) bring their absurdist vision back to Live Arts with a show that draws inspiration, directly or obliquely, from Italian pop music, Jorge Luis Borges’s determinism send-up "The Lottery in Babylon" and Bernard-Marie Koltès's slum-life monologue Night Just Before the Forests. The choreographer-performers are joined onstage by the actor Marianne Rendón, whose film roles include Patti Smith in Mapplethorpe and Manson girl Susan Atkins in Charlie Says.
