cheap&easy OCTOBER

One hundred years after a failed revolution, Object Collection resurrects the dead. Phantom agitators and zombie visionaries produce a séance, a death march, a psychic wailing. “cheap&easy OCTOBER” is a live-shredding of art world criticism, an original chamber opera about the revolutionary spirit and the power of the written word.

What type of insurrectionary action is possible when words are the only weapons at hand, when the vanguard becomes the establishment? A commemoration of forgotten events where talk is cheap. To the great emptiness of a post-revolutionary society, “cheap&easy OCTOBER” is an homage, a send-up and a surrender.
