Full Moon Show — The Thunder and Buck Moon Edition
I am honored to be playing Serge the French waiter in tonight’s Full Moon Show at Howl! Happening, alongside legendary performance personality Hapi Phace. There will be two shows: one at 4 p.m. featuring a sound poem by Hapi, and a 7 p.m. homage to the United Nations.Â
As the press release from Howl! prays:Â
CELEBRATE TWO TIMES (!) with this eclipse-season edition of the Full Moon Show, in bifurcated presentations by McCardboard Genius Award-Winning Performance Person Hapi Phace. The good news is the lunar eclipse will be the longest of the 21st century. From start to finish, the moon will take nearly four hours to cross the Earth's dark umbral shadow. The bad news? People in the U.S. won't get to experience the eclipse—unless they come to Howl! Â
4 PM—On the Sidewalk Outside Howl
I Have Heard the Garden Gnomes Sing
Partly poetic, partly prophetic, partly pathetic, your host Hapi Phace presents a stream-of-consciousness sound poem, as taught to him by the mythical elf and gnome vaudeville team Thunder & Buck.
7 PM—Inside the Gallery
A yet Untitled NSFW Tribute to the United Nations
Coinciding with this full moon is a full lunar eclipse—or Blood Moon—which will be visible in other parts of the globe. To mark the occasion, planetary citizen and lunar advocate Hapi Phace will ruminate on both the architectural and archetypical wonder that is the United Nations.
The Full Moon Show is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement/Creative Learning, supported by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. LMCC.net
The image above is from the Cream-Pie-In-The-Phace Full Moon Show last April. I’m wearing Hapi’s ‘Philly’ cat-eye glasses, vintage Lee denim jacket, Levi's Iconic 501s, and vintage Gucci loafers. Hapi is wearing his own designs head to toe.
