(with Katie Pearl)
In a stylish, corporate atrium somewhere in your city, A quirky office worker, sits atop a tall, square platform. She is surrounded by 5 men in business suits -- extensions or doppelgangers of herself. Together, they tell you the story of a woman who toils on the bottom level of a corporate machine at the center of a city that never sleeps. As she aches for human connection and understanding, she experiences a kind of spiritual and semiotic meltdown. The logic of her carefully structured world begins to unravel: names detach from their objects, words slide away from their assigned meanings, and the elements that make up her surface reality begin to separate from one another. As the performance progresses, the Office Worker embraces this grand disassembly in the hopes of finding the elusive pulse that unites us all.
Performed by Katie Pearl, 5 additional male performers needed.
Commissioned by the Whitney Museum of Art for their atrium in the Altria Building, across from Grand Central Station.
