An Evening With Complicity Huffman is a satirical solo performance, a haunted poetry reading which excavates and foregrounds the violence of settler-colonial literary spaces. As Complicity Huffman, an Israeli-American poet, presents work from her forthcoming book, Untitled Nobel Prize Submission, strange things keep happening. The poems are different than shes drafted them, the sound system is acting up, and occasionally blood pools on the stage from an unknown source. Eventually, the voices of the Palestinian subjects violently erased by Complicitys settler poetics come bursting into the space in an act of shocking, violent, and gory possession. An Evening With Complicity Huffman satirizes and eviscerates the casual links between the American literary landscape, rampant imperialist capitalism, and the constant lies settler-colonial subjects tell themselves in order to live lives of comfort.
With over 100 offerings from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime at cannonballfestival.org.
