Interior Stroll with Maria Denolt

They’ve been reported in Roswell, Phoenix, and even New York City, but has anyone actually seen a performance?

Join Maria Denolt for "Interior Stroll," an interactive (and slightly satirical) tour exploring the mysterious nature of alleged “performance sightings.”

Maria asks us: Why do sensible, educated people believe that theaters exist? Why do some art scholars argue that “performances” are actually hot air balloons, secret military aircraft, or swamp gas? Using the most up-to-date scientific research and obsolete cultural theory, Maria will debunk the myths and disclose the facts. The truth is out there, but the art's in here.

Participants are asked to bring sunglasses and wear comfortable shoes. Space is limited; RSVP encouraged!
