Vincent Cacialano
2019-10-19 19:30 - 21:00 | MAGMA, 11 Pleasant St., Gloucester, MA, 01930, United States
To whom it may concern
This performance work from choreographer Vincent Cacialano is interactive, physical, and at times absurd. The work collages humorous and poignant scenes, creating a social comment through irony. Set in a fictional frame, the characters traverse far ranging worlds from magic acts to town meetings, to talk-shows and therapeutic culture.
Performers- Vincent Cacialano, Sarah Slifer Swift and Seamus Swift
Tickets available at the door, $10-15 suggested donation
This is a MAGMA Live Art Series production
