'Looking thru my earphones'POETRY: A very short evening of performance poetry written by MASii a.k.a. Mike Masilamani, a name closely associated with the Dark Art of Advertising will feature at the Barefoot Gallery on May 18 and 19 at 8 p.m.
Directed by Tracy Holsinger they star Sean Amarasekera, Nimmi Harasgama, Ryan Holsinger, Anushka Pereira, and students of the Wendy Whatmore Academy. They include 'Looking Thru' My Earphones: Errol's Story', 'Man on the Run', 'Tits', 'Fashion TV', 'Vesak' and 'Human Arrow'. The poems address subjects such as the effects of advertising and consumerism, the electronic media and matters of the heart. 'Looking Thru' My Earphones', for instance, is inspired by MASii's close friend Errol, who 'showed how powerful and insidious consumerism is', which MASii maintains, 'has brought in a new cast system based on brand loyalty'. 'Fashion T.V', likewise showcases MASii's fascination with this medium, which 'unites the Lounge Lizard with the Lecherous'. Tracy Holsinger is Artistic Director of the Mind Adventures Theatre Company responsible for productions such as 'Slag' 'Virgo Intacta', Ubu Rex and NNNK. |
