THE JESTER OF TONGA

PS122

Nov 13-23
Wed-Sat 8pm
Sun 6:30pm
$20, $15, $10

Silovsky and his robot Stanley tell the very true and complex story
of Jesse Bogdonoff, the sensational modern-day Court Jester to the
Tongan Royal Court. Twenty suitcases packed full with island lore spill
their secrets, scandals and adventures onto the stage.

Joe is a quintessential brilliant and quirky mad scientist type; who is constantly derailed from his story telling by the technology and his own exuberant interest in absolutely everything.  But the digressions are the fabulously interesting, and he's got Stanley the robot to keep him on track and tell you all about the woes cased by the last big financial bump on Wall Street.

I imaging there will be a few pore sole will be run out of town in the dead of night due to this financial crisis.  But I very much doubt they'll have as odd a story as Mr. Bogdonoff or as entertaining a chronicler as Mr. Silovsky.

T-Minus 2008 - time-art festival
Galapagos Art Space
Nov 25th
7PM 11PM $7

T-Minus is an annual screening of media art that focuses on the manipulation of time. 

What slows down when everything speeds up? Why do things that move fast demonstrate a unique inner peace when viewed from a different speed? What are the defining patterns in the world of motion? T-Minus is a film festival that gathers together audio and video pieces that address these questions.

What does that mean, probably really cool time-lapse and Slow Motion footage, both of which have always been extremely intriguing twist on ways of seeing things that I can't normally see.
