<ong>Theater Oobleck Presents The Hysterical Alphabet: A Multimedia History
The Hysterical Alphabet: A Multimedia History, a live, 70-minute, audio-visual performance will be performed on Wednesday, April 20 at 8 p.m. in the Nourse Little Theater at Carleton College. Performed by the Chicago-based Theater Oobleck, this piece explores the “history of hysteria” with humor, critical insight, and a playful spirit—and features three performers: John Corbett (sound), Terri Kapsalis (voice/sound), and Danny Thompson (video/voice)—along with plenty of panic. This event is free and open to the public.
Terri Kapsalis, author of and performer in The Hysterical Alphabet, will be giving a complementary talk on Tuesday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the College’s Boliou Hall Auditorium. Her lecture, entitled “Gynecology for Men and Other Health Care Performances,” will cover recent trends in the Women’s Health Movement, during a time when gender boundaries are increasingly flexible and new generations are entering a changed health care landscape.
