Wish I knew about this-would have gone.

Wonder if Lana knew about it.

This was done in St. Mark's Church on 10th st. in the village.

 

have said for a long time, Lana's work is going to be on Broadway or off-Broadway

 

REVIEW- "ANDY WARHOL'S TROPICO": Ever get suck in a dream?

Quite a ways into Andy Warhol Tropico, by the dance theatre troupe the Feath3r Theory,

Raja Feather Kelly explains that what the audience has been watching is a re-enactment of his dreams.

He points out the difference between dream time and real time:how a dream that might seem to last for hours can be compressed into a few minutes of sleep.

​

Depending on the dream, that stretching of time can be blissful or excrutiating.

"Andy Warhol's Tropico", which had its premier at Danspace Project on Thursday, lasts two and a

half hours without an intermission. That's too long, by about two and a half hours.

 

As the title indicates, the production has something to do with Warhol, and some relation to "TROPICO",

a garish, biblical themed 27 minute music video by Lana Del Rey.

But Mr. Kelly's dream includes much more, a great deal of which seems gratuitus, like the awkward bits of audience participation or the five or six movie-trailer-style ads for other coming dance shows.

(read the whole link, it includes the mediations of time in TS Eliot's Burnt Norton.

Note- the cut/paste still does not work for me, so I had typed from the article the OP
