4 PM ET: Gordon W “Smells Like Teental Spirit”. Gordon W is a cooking-performance artist and musician who traveled to India in the 1970s to study Hinduism, Indian cuisine and Tablas. During the 1980s/90s he was active in Toronto performing many “bread-actions” and culinary interventions such as the Chapati Cart, which was a fixture on Queen Street West. He has continued to cook and perform in Berlin since 1995. He has performed with Jack Smith, Henning Christiansen, Tony Conrad, Alexander Hacke, Gordon Monahan and Laura Kikauka.
4:30 PM ET: Still Boys “Breakfast in Bognor”. Still Boys is a grand cyclopean pop spectacle. Members of a well-groomed boy band have been fused into the facial features of a pyramid-shaped alien being that performs music and enthusiastic dance. With equal doses of catchy riffs, grotesque prop drama, and absurd lyricism, Jason the Eye (Charlie Murray), D-Wayne the Lips (Sebastian Butt), and Randy the Tongue (Randy Gagne) steer the audience down a delicious rabbit hole.
Breakfast in Bognor finds the boys in their first virtual rendezvous, marooned on the sprawling grounds of The Funny Farm. Battling the elements, they are forced to entertain scarecrows in order to survive. With no humans in sight, will they subsist on locally foraged straw effigies? Or will they be forced to travel to Bognor for brunch? Featuring a special guest appearance by Frosty Valentine.
