Git Along Lil Doggies October 24, 2010

Laboratory Theater's newest work is a meditative, cowboy dance-drama about the spiritual imprint of the windswept landscape of the American West. 'Git Along Lil Doggies' commingles elements of William S. Burroughs' novel 'The Place of Dead Roads,' with short stories by Annie Proulx, country-western line dance, and gay pornography. The performance unfolds against a projected video landscape of repainted Marlboro cigarette TV commercials and within an immersive soundscape incorporating country-western recordings from the 1920s-30s and contemporary new age music for pedal steel guitar.
