CASS BUGGE's Unrelated People
GUEST BLOGGER: Lana Fee, PERFORMA
ONE TO WATCH! The hilarious and daring Cass Bugge premiered her first one woman show Unrelated People at the fresh, eco-friendly designed performance and gallery space The Wild Project.
Suzanne, phonetically familiar to Kathleen Turner, the forthright, erotically mature, alternate personality of the conventional girl is conveyed to conventional boyfriend… all via bluetooth earpiece. Tyra enthusiast provides live America’s Next Top Model audition - catwalk simulation, model-face simulation, etc.- a performance of a performance of a performance. All a wide range of ways woman project themselves to others. Apparent to the audience, Unrelated People only scrapes the surface of Ms. Bugge’s material, and I will be even interested to see her portrayal of male roles. What I will be even more excited to see are characters with a more pathetic, dark awkwardness that still capture the breadth of her comic genius.
No mixed media bells or whistles here- set with Cass alone without costume change, 5 or 6 props and clever track pairing. A succinct 45 minute performance and room full of laughter- such a pleasure. I recommend you keep a keen eye for this young talent!
