After sold out performances at Deitch Projects, The New Museum for Contemporary Art and most recently opening for Antony and the Johnsons at Town Hall on Broadway, Claywoman returns for a one night only performance at Le Petit Versailles. This latest performance blossoms new themes, ideas and characters in an outdoor garden on New York City’s Lower East Side. A screening of The Mystery of Claywoman (featuring Alan Cumming , Justin Bond, Debbie Harry and Amy Poehler) is followed by a lecture touching on subjects that involve our fragile planet and our evolution as a relatively new species.
Described by Paper Magazine as “Funny, uncomfortable and depressing - in that order.” , as well as Michael Musto calling the performance “wildly witty” , this next incarnation of the mystery that is Claywoman should be eye opening for all.
The Mystery of Claywoman – Screening and Lecture’ is written and performed by Michael Cavadias and directed by Rob Roth. Utilizing live performance and film, the piece combines the forms of a documentary screening and lecture to actualize the story of Claywoman, a 500-million year old enigma who, legend has it, can cure anyone of their deepest pain.
