Temporary Distortion's 'Americana Kamikaze' @ PS 122
"Ravishing, cinematic video...Just try not to shiver."
- Helen Shaw, Time Out New York
“Mind-blowing video images and theatrical tension… a nightmarish pop aesthetic that deserves your attention.” - NYTimes
“Go to the theater to see death performed live to really test your limits.” – NY Times
Following sold-out runs at Performance Space 122, Temporary Distortion climbs back inside one of their signature box structures to unspool a theatre-cinema hybrid so new it can only be called bleeding-edge as they delve into the world of Japanese ghost stories. Americana Kamikaze is haunted by vengeful spirits, impossible physical manipulations, elliptical storylines, creepy sound designs, equally creepy cinematography,.. and bizarrely happy endings. Get dosed with J-horror.
