The ABCs are seized by a convulsive fit in Terri Kapsalis’ The Hysterical Alphabet, each letter introducing an episode direct from the annals of medical lore. Backed by Danny Thompson’s disquieting film collages and John Corbett’s vinyl manipulations, The Hysterical Alphabet explores a 4,000 year history that deeply inflects our contemporary ideas about gender and illness.
A reception will follow the performance in the Browning Cinema Lobby.
Sponsored by the Gender Studies Program; Department of Film, Television, and Theatre; Boehnen Fund for Excellence; and the Genevieve D. Willis Endowment for Excellence.
