AN OPERETTA ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS OF AMNESIA

Village Voice Cynthia Hopkins - writer, composer, singer, and performer - takes us on a serpentine and transcendent journey in her Bessie Award- winning autobiographical performance.

Her philosophical musings on the potential for self-transformation are interwoven with artfully wrought alt-country songs, and she belts out the tunes like a young Patsy Cline, backed by her band Gloria Deluxe. Also lending a hand are Jim Findlay and Jeff Sugg - key figures in New York's experimental theater community - who moves seamlessly between singing, dancing, and the live manipulation of their signature immersive, handcrafted videoscapes.

This is one investigation of amnesia you won't forget.
