DRAMA QUEENS
a play by ELMGREEN & DRAGSET
with text by Tim ETCHELLS
18 September - 26 September 2010
presented by LOOK – Film Container

Drama Queens is a play without actors. Seven 20th Century superstar sculptures find themselves trapped on a theatre stage and out of their usual context. How do they interact with this new environment and with each other? The drama unfolds through a series of clashes and crossovers beween the various >isms< and aesthetics which these sculptures represent.

The sculptures were inspired by Barbara Hepworth’s Elegy III, Sol LeWitt’s Four Cubes, Hans Arp’s Cloud Shepherd, Jeff Koons’ Rabbit, Alberto Giacometti’s Walking Man, Ulrich Rückriem’s Untitled (Granite) and Andy Warhol’s Brillo Box.

Container Cinema can be found on the corner of Andrássy and Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út in the newsstand transformed into a 6-person film theatre. It is open from 12 o'clock each day. Screening starts every hour, last one at 8pm.

Entry free.

Fenyvesi Áron's interview with Elmgreen & Dragset is published in the next issue of The Room on 15 Octobre.
