“The Stinking Nose” A Work In Progress by Bell/Korahais/Woolf
The Stinking Nose is a performance starring GARLIC and three of its devoted acolytes. In an interactive theatrical and edible experiment, the trio explores hierarchies between cultures, species, and odors, led by garlic’s vegetal, political, alimentary, and olfactory cues.
“We’ll garden. And snack. And sniff. It’s going to stink. But so do we. And so do you.”
The presentation will be a work-in-progress of a new iteration of this ongoing project. The team is creating a new performance out of pre-existing elements and newly developed material from their week at NACL.
