LOOPNEUS
(Runny Nose)

Nose wants to be free.
Eye looks at Nose and says it’s got a wild hair.
No one listens.
Ear tells Eye to be quiet,
and Mouth is tongue-tied.
Nose wants to see
beyond its own tip.

Two singers/musicians and a video artist/guitarist present a sensory performance inspired by the different parts of the face.
Eye, ear, nose, skin, and mouth make their way across the face.
Sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch come together in a sensory experience.
In a world of selfies, facial expressions, and disguises, video becomes an almost obvious choice.
Even very young children know how to strike a pose for the camera.

Based on “The Nose” by Gogol.
Inspired by works of Händel, Purcell, Delibes, Gershwin, Šostakóvič, and Offenbach.
