Erin McMonagle "Factotum"
chashama Window Space (266 W 37th St. )
This event has ended.
Factotum explores the life of Marlene – the silent secretary in the Fassbinder film "The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant" – after she ends her employment with Petra, and imagines Marlene opening her own office as a factotum for hire.
The performance will consist of Marlene (Erin McMonagle) completing a wide variety of contracted tasks (a general request for employment was sent out to a wide audience in order to receive diverse assignments) including typing, note-taking, bartending, silver polishing, making and serving coffee and tea, machine sewing, hand sewing, creating clothing sketches, cleaning, dancing, etc. Marlene will, as in the film, remain silent. details
