Implied Violence
PERFORMING AT SOMEDAY
Friday, Jan 5th › 9pm › $5
St. Vitus Dance Club featuring Seattle experimental theater and movement troupes IMPLIED VIOLENCE and DEAD BIRD MOVEMENT with music from FLASPAR, FRANK DUFAY, and ESCAPE FROM KEYBOARD ISLAND
We're getting back to the plan on St. Vitus Dance Club, housing the most deranged mad scientists of club music and bringing them into collaborative therapy with troupes of dance and movement zealots from across the stylistic matrix. Seattle's kissing cousins of radical performance—dance soloist Dead Bird Movement and theatrical strike team Implied Violence—are teaming up to visit the town that loves them most (Reno), and dropping in at Someday on the way.
Likewise dropping in are a slinky syndicate of synthesizists known as Flaspar, Frank Dufay, and Escape From Keyboard Island. Theirs is an otherworldly peyote dream of low-tech experimental groove, just the thing to raise the roof on our padded room.
About the artist
Implied Violence makes plays that are not plays. We make theatre that may or may not be theatre. We generate pieces that are rooted in an internal logic and rigid structure that audiences may or may not understand. However, our work does not beg to be understood. We don't care to be understood, to understand is to lie.
Implied Violence is an intimate, intelligent, connected group of emerging artists who create work with and for one another. We are mercurial youngsters with style and wit. We keep secrets and speak in code. Nobody is the Boss but you must Respect the Boss.
Driven by boredom and disgust for theatre, we craft fierce, audacious performance pieces. Call these pieces irreverent and disrespectful, for they can be just that. Sources of inspiration are contemporary politics, economics, literature, philosophy, religion, and illness. Etcetera etcetera, the world around us, blah blah blah. Implied Violence intends to explode the form, to barrel past mediocrity and stagnation, and to shove conformist theatre into a deathly abyss.
We love nothing more than a good pie in the face. Yes, and more and yes and yes.
