Weis’ "Sundays on Broadway," an ongoing series of performances, film screenings, and discussions continues with Eva Karczag and Vicky Shick, plus Weis on this program described as “An evening with a solo that feels like a duet and a duet that feels like a solo.” Karczag and Shick return to “Sundays on Broadway” to present a reworking of their duet, your blue is my purple. Karczag and Shick are longtime colleagues dating back to the 1980s in the Trisha Brown Company. “To this day, they are often mistaken for each other on the street and even on stage. In this duet, they continue to investigate their curiosities, similarities, and differences. Weis performs Jury Duty. As she moves onstage, Weis tells stories about being called for jury duty and describes what it’s like for her to move through the world. A live image of Weis is projected behind her, adding a new layer of meaning to her musings,” according to the release. This “Shared evening” is curated by Weis. Find out more here
