"The coming-of-age stories in Alana Noël Voth’s DOG MEN cling to you like only the most personal and upsetting dreams can. They’re nightmares the way your first love was a “nightmare,” or the first time you got laid. They're haunting, surreal, but deeply personal. They’re the X-Rated episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Joss Whedon didn’t have the courage to air. They don’t flinch. Voth’s characters are people you know, and yet nothing you could have imagined. If you don’t keep them close, they’ll find you."

HAPPENING TODAY: a performance by Cassandra Troyan and Johannes Göransson at MCA Chicago's Word Weekend.

"We thought it would be interesting to put the minds of Cassandra Troyan and Johannes Göransson in a room and see what collaborative performance they’d come up with. The result: “Beware of a Holy Whore.”

Channeling a conversation between the ruins of the Cold War with Berlin as the epicenter of erotic destruction and the prostitute as the figure of survival and economic post-war flourishing, “BEWARE OF A HOLY WHORE” is a psychosexual remapping of desire and capital. Using the figures of Fassbinder’s BRD Trilogy and other filmic and cultural sources, the whore becomes a woman to be revered rather than shunned as she presides over a funeral for capitalism and the city, as a future site of freedom and joy."
