Highways presents Kate Gilbert’s newest work which attempts gestures of grace through a series of pseudo-violent acts at a shifting dining room table. Inspired by the work of third-wave feminist Judy Chicago, the sunny-faced demeanor of media sensation Rachael Ray and Roland Barthes’ poeticizing of emptiness in “Empire of Signs,” this absurdist play explores what it means to be civilized in the presence of impossible realities such as death, illness and Michelle Bachmann. Tea and cakes to be served. Event sponsored by the City of West Hollywood through its Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission’s Arts Grant Program. Admission $10 per person.
