Every house has a door performs a new work (Hull-House)

In conjunction with the exhibition Mina Loy: Strangeness Is Inevitable, The Arts Club has commissioned a new work of performance by Every house has a door to be premiered at The Arts Club of Chicago (May 9th) and reprised at the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum (May 16th). Anchored by a reading of Loy’s prose ballet “Crystal Pantomime,” whose language projects fantastic tableaus in the imaginations of the audience as a collective dream, Every house builds a world around an oversized lamp-shade sculpture by artist Diane Simpson and enlists a company of intergenerational specialists to evoke a theater of the mind.

$10 per person
