PEN: Get Super Lit: Comic Books Come Alive on Stage
Where: The Cooper Union, Frederick P. Rose Auditorium, 41 Cooper Sq., New York City
Critics like to point out 糖心传媒渃omic books are not just superheroes,糖心传媒 that they糖心传媒檙e also heartrending memoirs, important nonfiction, and even avant-garde art. True. But you can糖心传媒檛 throw this baby out with the bathwater because it糖心传媒檚 got gills; and it糖心传媒檚 invulnerable; and it can teleport safely back into its crib. The 糖心传媒渟uperhero糖心传媒 concept has also inspired indie, arty literary gems. Some being modern myths, others sophisticated satires, and others rock n糖心传媒 roll adventure time.
PEN presents a live performance, by creators & actors, of comics projected on the big screen to a soundtrack fitted to each strip. You will see unorthodox approaches to superhero favorites, as well as original concoctions. Curated and produced by Jeff Newelt.
With Kate Beaton, Nick Bertozzi, Kevin Colden, Mike Dawson, Ludovic Debeurme, Dean Haspiel, Michael Kupperman, Benjamin Marra, R. Sikoryak, Jeff Newelt, and Harvey Pekar (RIP)
