Arts Everything’s Better With Zombies
Overheard after seeing Die Wandlung at CoCA, (an experimental performance goulash of gutter dandy costumes, butoh dance, cirque noir makeup, German expressionist text, and clanging percussion on found objects—it was as confusing as it sounds):
“That was intriguing.”
“Woulda been better with zombies.”
“You think?”
“Oh yeah—everything’s better with zombies.”
Too right:
“Twelfth Night of the Living Dead. The Bard meets George Romero: Cross-dressing zombies in the sixteenth century. Who’s a man? Who’s a woman? Who’s living? Who’s dead? Hilarity ensues.”
(From Yankee Pot Roast.)
There totally were undead in Die Wandlung. Maybe not zombies per se, but pretty close.
