Cho Cho
Cho H Cho, part of a Mabou Mines Suite Resident Artist Program 2010-11, is an original theater collage, which explores and observes the culture of consumption and the new set of values that are being harvested in our globalized World. Through the eyes and feet of Roi and Joan we witness a handful of extreme characters that pass by (some directly, others indirectly) evolving and decomposing on stage. Inspired by the Dada movement and Artaud’s ‘Theater of Cruelty’ Cho H Cho is a potpourri of events expressed with Love and Violence.
Review
“Cho H Cho’s director, writer and producer Daniel Irizarry also plays one of the main characters (Roi). He is a gifted artist with a lifetime of experience in physical theatre. His choreography for the “Dance of the Amputees” is incredible, as is a human staircase where the ensemble literally walks on top of each other. Laura Butler Rivera (Joan), who doubles as assistant director, looks like a young Imogene Coco and gives an equally impressive performance […] yet the best part of Cho H Cho is the concept itself: humor and intelligence blended with the acrobatic and artistic to make meaningful economic and social commentary. Cho H Cho is outrageous theatre to be enjoyed now and analyzed later.” - nytheatre.com review of Cho H Cho by Cate Cammarata -
