WE WANT IT DARKER Premiers at The Slipper Room, Wednesday 4/26

Created, Produced and Performed by CASSANDRA ROSEBEETLE, JASON MEJIAS and ELIZABETH MUNN

Conceived in part as a response to the current climate, WE WANT IT DARKER is a dreamy portrait of the surreal. Through solo and collaborative work, with live music, theremin, glass walking, burlesque and aerial performances, we explore what is in the midst of the darkness.

ROB ROTH is a multiplatform artist and director based in New York City, and received his BFA from Pratt Institute in 1991.Roth's work had its early fertilization in the 1990's at New York City's legendary underground nightclub, MOTHER, and his poetic visual language springs from his initial training as a painter. As an artist and believer in theater as ritual, Roth creates lyrical and mysterious works within an within a deconstructed narrative. His explorations of cinematic language and form within live performance, result in creations of haunting imagery influenced by renaissance painting, classic Hollywood films, and mystical chemistry, that combined, plumb the depths of eroticism, human sexuality and death.

CORNELIUS LOY is an aspiring composer, performance artist and theremin virtuoso. In his original compositions, Cornelius creates harmony between heavy textured percussion and delicate melodies played on theremin, guitar and piano. He has collaborated and performed with musical artists: Joey Arias, Kembra Pfahler and Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, Lydia Lunch, Loredana Groza and modeled for fashion designer Thierry Mugler in his film "Z Chromosome"
