Performa 09: Candice Breitz: New York, New York November 13, 2009

Video and installation artist Candice Breitz presents 'New York, New York,' her first-ever live performance, which features two nearly-identical casts composed of four pairs of identical twins - with each pair of twins split into two groups of four actors each - presenting two evenings of improvised performance. The performances will be based on intensive "character development sessions" that Breitz will hold with each pair of twins to develop a single character that both will play, although in separate casts and improvisations.
