Past --> John P. Hogan performance, "Friars and Bacchae in Conflict" - 8/25


A shot of the beginning of the performance.

"Friars and Bacchae in Conflict" a one night only performance by John P. Hogan. August 25th, 2007

On a warm summer's eve John P. Hogan presented a story of adventure on the high seas, faith and religion, pagan myths and rituals, singer-songwriters, the creation of beer, secret identities and mold. Hogan's story-telling made use of spoken word narration (reading the story), pop and folk songs (singing the story and songs within the story that characters sing) and a small stage set with backdrop displaying small character models made from illustrations, foam core, wine bottles and fruit acting as a kind of diorama, filling in for an actual human cast which would of course entail a much, much bigger production. The stage set part of the performance was projected onto the wall near the stage itself, sort of a small version of a Jumbo-Tron, perhaps just a Tron. This projection enlarged the action and arrangement of the characters in the story for all to see, which had additional importance due to the secret identies of a main character that was revealed through the drama.

This performance was held during the run of "Between People: Four Artists on Connecting". While not part of the group show, some of the pieces from the show can be seen on the walls.
