Theodora Skipitares: View From The Miniature City
Installation + Performance
The Downstairs @ La MaMa
66 East 4th Street
New York, NY 10003
Between 2nd Avenue and The Bowery.
La MaMa, in association with Skysaver Productions and 15 Orient Gallery, are pleased to present Views from the Miniature City, a performance/installation by New York based artist and puppeteer Theodora Skipitares for six performances only, from July 20-29, 2023. The scenes are from Skipitares’s seminal 1981 show, "Micropolis: 6 Portraits and a Landscape,” in which a host of figures appear within various interiors characteristic of downtown New York City.
Drawing on elements of her own personal history as well as topical events of the time, these hand-crafted tableaux reflect issues of urban decline, contemporary media, its relation to individual storytelling, and the political powers of theatrical re-enactment.
This is a 30-minute performance followed by a meet-and-greet with the artist.
Individual Tickets: $15
La MaMa Members: $10
