Sister Sylvester: Drinking Brecht
Performance artist and filmmaker (and occasional amateur microbiologist) Sister Sylvester works with new technologies to make cross-species collaborations, essay films, and lecture performances. In Drinking Brecht, she brings her large-scale bio-art performance to Krannert Center audiences. Based on DNA extracted from a hat that was formerly in the costume collection of Bertolt Brecht’s Berliner Ensemble theatre company, Drinking Brecht is an interactive evening involving DNA extraction, science lectures, and genetically infused cocktails.
