Hazel Meyer, Moe Angelos, Stephen Jackman-Torkoff, and a bug-eyed puppet called Marble act out The Marble in the Basement, a site-specific performance that uses her installation of the same title as a set. The marble found posthumously in Canadian artist Joyce Wieland’s home becomes a point of departure to think about “inheritance, class, queerness…and what you pass on.”
Limited seating, tickets required. All proceeds to be provided directly to performers.
*Please note the performance on May 10 is a masked event.
About the Performers:
Hazel Meyer is an artist who works with installation, performance, and text to investigate the relationships between sexuality, feminism, and material culture. Her work recovers the queer aesthetics, politics, and bodies often effaced within histories of infrastructure, athletics, and illness.

She’s toured internationally with the Builders including notable show, Continuous City. Moe’s is also one of The Five Lesbian Brothers, (another Obie!) a collaborative theatre company she co-founded in 1988. When not treading the boards, Moe works in United Scenic Artists 829 as a scenic painter, helping to make Hollywood and Off-Off-Off Broadway dreams come true.
