Sister Sylvester: 'Brecht Forensics: Genetically Modified Theater'

Friday, Jan. 31, and Saturday, Feb. 1, 2020 | 8 p.m. | Hepburn Teaching Theater, Goodhart Hall

Free for Tri-Co.

Based in New York and Istanbul, Sister Sylvester makes essayistic performances by using first-hand research and bringing together digital technology with non-human, living performers.

'Brecht Forensics: Genetically Modified Theater' is a performance lecture based on DNA extracted from a hat that was a costume for Brecht's Berliner Ensemble. The performance features drinks made from the DNA found on the hat and genetically modified actors that are part human, part jellyfish, part bacteria.
