The Fizzles
An adaptation of Samuel Beckett and Jasper Johns’sFoirades/Fizzles by the Piehole theater group
June 4, 2012
Doors 7:30 p.m., performance 8:00 p.m., $7 suggested donation
In 1973 and 1974, Samuel Beckett translated a set of his prose poems, Foirades, into English as Fizzles. (The French “diarrhea” or “shit” becomes a slightly more ambiguous English.) Foirades/Fizzles entered into limited circulation as an elegant collaboration with Jasper Johns, published by Petersburg Press; in 1976, Grove Press produced an expanded run. Johns’s etchings emphasize his calligraphic and repetitive style. Of one fizzle, Marjorie Perloff has commented that the “phrasing is that of a telegram.”
On June 4, Triple Canopy will host an hour-long interpretation of Beckett and Johns’s artist book by the New York–based Piehole theater group. Incorporating theater, dance, electroacoustic sound, and live and recorded video projection, Piehole’s The Fizzles promises a compellingly imperfect meeting of media.

Blesofsky encouraged viewers to contribute images of buildings they considered to be in danger of being desecrated, destroyed, or in any way lost or forgotten. Works are based on images and descriptions submitted by readers, made from materials within immediate reach at Blesofsky’s home.
