Oromancer 5/24/09 Video BananTIza!

It was May 24th and we recorded our friends (below) doing and performing the things they perform and do in our home, a.k.a. the Oromancer.

Most unfortunately we were not able to get Aaron Howard (Brooklyn, NY) and Cory Wellington (New Brunswick, NJ) on video due to the exhaustion of our tape supply. You can hear them here http://postneoabsurdism.com/may2493.html at Tomislav's inspired audio archive of the event! If anyone has video of these magnificent folks please let us know, we'd love to get our mitts on em!

Anti-Mass at the 2009 Roanoke Marginal Arts Festival

See, see, documentation from the Roanoke festival continues to appear! Here is that Sunday morning's Anti-Mass ceremony, concocted and overseen by Bradley Chriss, Tomislav Butkovic, Warren Fry, and Sara Adrian. Benedictions are granted to Aaron Bensen, John M. Bennett, Olchar Lindsann, Ralph Eaton, Julian Mathews, and Jim Leftwich.



Soon we'll put up Ralph's reading of the Bible Babel, which occurred several minutes after, this; then Lindsann's phonetic poem and part of Michael Peter's Vaast Bin performance, and that's everything we've got from Roanoke.

Also within a few days--official info on the upcoming re-re-convening of events at the PNA Oromancer space here in New Jersey, with Rick Weaver up from Baltimore and a slew of other Post-Neo friends from NJ and NY.

Ubu Enchained, Act V: The Cycle Completed.

Here it is, the last bit of Ubu Enchained. Act V was conceived with the British Post-NeoAbsurdist Cabarets in mind (the Itinerant Mirror, etc.), and though toned down in relation to those this nonetheless ensured a decent bit of physical, psychological, and aesthetic abuse of the audience, plenty of confusion and slap-dashery on the part of the hosts as well as the guests, a respectable mess afterward, and complaints from neighboring establishments about how much more interesting (i.e., loud. [i.e. awesome]) our event was than theirs.


Ubu Enchained, Act V from PNA-Video on Vimeo.

There were lovely pre-recorded bits that we rudely souted over, and improvised scenes-turned-actions. This act would have been performed Saturday night at the Water Heater space, but due to Olchar's puking everywhere it had to be delayed til Sunday, in a different space. Hosting were Olchar Lindsann, Warren Fry, Tomislav Butkovic, Julian Mathews, Evan Damerow, Bradley Chriss, and Megan Blafas. Sara Adrian filmed. Jim Leftwich caried the Vizier around for Julian; and let it be known that was John Bennett who pulled out his knife and started freeing all of the prisoners a few minutes in, leading the inevitable audience backlash (which we nonetheless were forced to keep firmly in line). Ralph Eaton also tormented us quite a bit. Asshole.

UBU Enchained, ACT III

Ubu Enchained
Act III



Participating in this event were members of the New Jersey and Washington D.C. Post-NeoAbsurdist Contingents and members the Water Heater audience.



Ubu Enchained, Act III from PNA-Video on Vimeo.


Performed on 2/21/09 at the Water Heater, Roanoke VA

Act III was conceived as a live, participatory foley event. It appeared after act IV (coming soon) which was performed earlier that day. The dialogue was prerecorded and played over loud-speaker while event participants used objects like shoes, chains, and watermelons to produce live foley sounds. We ran out of tape before the act ended so the last two minutes are lost to memory, unfortunately.
