Dixon Place Presents: Matthew Silver the Great Peformer February 26, 2013

Matthew Silver has been performing @ Union Square, Astor Place and Washington Square Park as the Village Idiot, getting people to act silly. You may have heard about him on the Gothamist, Timeout NY, The Village Voice, Brooklyn paper and Papermag or infamous sites like diehipster and Normalbobsmith. Just recently he made his TV debut on Discovery’s Science Channel show called Oddities and now he’s ready to perform at Dixon Place.

Matthew Silver plays an enlightened idiot that has nothing to teach anybody, except the moment, he makes fun of the brain for being too serious, for creating polarities, dualities, causing some humans to have mental breakdowns and forget about love. It’s interactive performance art meant to make people laugh by creating awkward moments, emphasizing the present moment and how important it is. He parodies excessive seriousness by playing with taboos, rules, and social norms. His inspiration comes from his heart. He performs for smiles and laughter, loosening people’s armor, and opening up a portal for imagination, creativity and love.

The Dixon Place Lounge is open before, during and after the show for drinks.
