Theatre / Film / Performance
Performance artist and filmmaker (and occasional amateur microbiologist) Sister Sylvester works with new technologies to make cross-species collaborations, essay films, and lecture performances. Using DNA extracted from a hat worn by actors in Bertolt Brecht’s Berliner Ensemble, Drinking Brecht is a live, illustrated essay that explores the past and present of genetics, synthetic biology, economics, and theatre history.
As part of the experience, audience members will be offered an alcoholic beverage therefore only 21+ attendees will be served.
