The history of art spans millions of years. This fall, Sideshow Theater Company fits it into 90 minutes.
Join us on a slightly condensed and always irreverent journey through the history of art, on a mission to understand exactly where art comes from and our human desire to create. Who really designed the pyramids? What put that smile on the Mona Lisa's face? Why wouldn't Whistler let his mother pose nude? Nopiece of artwork is sacred as Sideshow explores the conversations between artist, subject and self from cave men sketching on the walls in France to Warhol confronting his can of Tomato Soup. Get the story (some fact and some fiction) on some of the world’s most iconic images, delivered by the company of magicians, freaks andgeeks that brought you the critically acclaimed Dante Dies!! (and then thingsget weird) and Everything Freezes: another winter's tale.
