Boulevard
A new virtual reality experience by FLATSITTER x Torn Space
Dates: Nov. 4-5, 11-12, Dec. 1-3, 8, 10 2022 7:00pm, 8:15pm
Venue: 612 Fillmore Ave. Buffalo
Incorporating footage captured during CrossWalk, Torn Space’s summer fashion show and art party experience at Artpark, this new performance explores layers of identity through presentations of fashion, glamor, and power structures in public and private spaces. Combining symbols and archetypes from the Torn Space mythology with branded imagery from local fashion designers BUREAU, OGLXRY and Kylie Priscilla, Boulevard observes the process of constructing the self in an age of hyper-connectivity, “influencer” personas and the mysterious omnipresent audiences sponsoring their efforts toward self-optimization.
Torn Space Theater returns with its final offering of 2022- Boulevard is a multimedia immersive experience featuring virtual reality by FLATSITTER and live performance directed by Torn Space. Boulevard runs November 4-5, 11-12, Dec. 1-3, 8, 10 2022 with two time slots at 7pm and 8:15pm. There will also be a Torn Space fundraiser and preview performance of Boulevard on October 28, 7pm-9pm. All performances take place at the Adam Mickiewicz Library and Dramatic Circle, 612 Fillmore Ave. Buffalo, NY 14212.
