A Clean-up Project of Epic Proportions by Theatrical Illusionist Geoff Sobelle

Do you have what you need? Do you need what you have?

This is a great clean-up project and an unprecedented archaeological excavation. With boxes stacked to the ceiling, award-winning American artist Geoff Sobelle unpacks our relationship to everyday objects in this hilarious, heartbreaking solo performance/ junk-pile-installation. Ordinary objects are imbued with deeper meaning, and rooms are reconstructed, stories unfolded before being lost and forgotten.

Breaking, buying, finding, fixing, giving, losing, winning, trading, selling, stealing, storing, collecting, cluttering, clearing, packing up, passing on, buried under... a world of things. A meditation on the stuff we cling to and the crap we leave behind. What is we really need?

This cunning show finds universal common ground in one man’s field of detritus. It’s a ruefully, comically sentimental piece that plucks a fleeting connective poetry in the seeming randomness of what we hoard.” — The New York Times
