The Robot Études
A series of short performance works for people
and machines, inspired by A Midsummer Night's Dream
Saturday, May 15, 2010 at 3 PM
The Harold Prince Theatre at the Annenberg
Center
3680 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA
Created in collaboration with Professors Mark
Yim and Simon Kim and the graduate engineers and architects of
University of Pennsylvania
Pig Iron has embarked on a two-year,
multi-pronged inquiry into the hidden corners of A Midsummer Night's Dream. For
the past several months, grad students from UPenn's engineering and architecture
program have been meeting with Pig Iron artists to tinker in the brambles of
Shakespeare's play. The result is a series of performance études --
thumbnail sketches of an alternate universe where plants are programmed and love
shimmers with electric light.
Please join us for this free showing of glimpses
into a very unusual aesthetic collision.
PIG IRON CREATIVE TEAM:
David Brick, Maiko Matsushima, James Sugg, Sarah
Sanford, Dito van Reigersberg, Jebney Lewis, Alex Torra, Troy Herion, and Dan
Rothenberg

Hosted By
Pig Iron Theatre Company
Founded in 1995 as an interdisciplinary ensemble, Pig Iron Theatre Company is dedicated to the creation of new and exuberant performance works that defy easy categorization.
In the past 12 years the company has created 22 original works and has toured to festivals and theatres in England, Scotland, Poland, Lithuania, Brazil, Ireland, Italy, Romania and Germany. The body of Pig Iron's work is eclectic and daring. Individual works have been inspired by history and biography (Poet In New York, 1997 and Anodyne, 2001), rock music (Mission to Mercury, 2000 and James Joyce is Dead and so is Paris: The Lucia Joyce Cabaret, 2003), American kitsch culture (Cafeteria, 1997), serendipity (Dig or Fly, 1996 and The Snow Queen, 1999), and fallen heroes (The Odyssey, 1995 and The Tragedy of Joan of Arc, 1998). In 2001, Pig Iron collaborated with legendary theatre director Joseph Chaikin (1935-2003) to create an exploration of sleep, dreams and consciousness (Shut Eye). In 2005, Pig Iron won an OBIE Award for Hell Meets Henry Halfway, an adaptation of Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz's novel Possessed. In 2006, Pig Iron was named Theatre Company of the Year in the Philadelphia Weekly.
Pig Iron calls itself a “dance-clown-theatre ensemble” - our focus moves from character to space to contact with the audience. Individual pieces have been called “soundscape and spectacle,” “cabaret-ballet,” and “avant-garde shadow puppet dessert-theatre.” We have a hard time sitting still.
Currently, Pig Iron is composed of 3 artistic directors and 5 company members, in addition to an administrative staff and board of directors. The company made Philadelphia its permanent home in 1997; though individual pieces are often developed in residency at other theatres or at universities, we premiere all our work in our hometown of Philadelphia.
