February is the season of unnaturally dyed daisies, everything heart shaped, and Barry Manilow songs spilling over like too much bubble bath. It is the time of year that we place the whole love shebang up out of reach on some gilt pedestal. “Love unites us!” we shout, lifting our ignorant fists to the heavens.
We at Glue & Scissors are pretty sure love will tear us apart, that all of our hearts better resemble scraped knees.
It's high time we compare scabs—the different shapes and textures of experience, how our bodies exist in constant dialogue with each other.
Love itself is a paradox.
We cleave together.
We are cleaved in two.
Recognition of the reciprocal nature of love means a greater understanding of the human condition.
It is perhaps this scrutiny that has the propensity to unite us.
The Cup will feature performances by:
Blake Mellencamp
Paul Witkamp, William Smith + Their guitars
Coyotes
Marta Vitolins
Also, a series of dramatic readings w/audience participation encouraged.
