About This Event
Performance artist and filmmaker (and occasional amateur microbiologist) Sister Sylvester works with new technologies to make cross-species collaborations, essay films, and lecture performances. In Drinking Brecht, she brings her large-scale bio-art performance to Krannert Center audiences. Based on DNA extracted from a hat that was formerly in the costume collection of Bertolt Brecht’s Berliner Ensemble theatre company, Drinking Brecht is an interactive evening involving DNA extraction, science lectures, and genetically infused cocktails.
Thursday, October 10 - Saturday, October 12, 2024 at 7:30PM in the Studio Theatre
