Event
Nicole Peyrafitte
"She is in the poetic lineage of Greek tragedy, Café Voltaire antics, of dada and surrealist play but with a post-modern, hip sensibility. I am transfixed when she's on stage." -Poet/Performer Anne Waldman Pyrenean-born, Brooklyn-based performance artist Nicole Peyrafitte draws on her eclectic heritage to create an imaginative identity encorporating two continents and four languages. She employs multimedia stagings based on her visual art and writings, and sometimes even her cooking! She met Troy jazz guitarist George Muscatello and bassist Mike Bisio while living in the Capital District for fifteen years, and has toured frequently with them in the US and France. Both are featured on Nicole's CDs, The Bi-Continental Chowder/La Garbure Transcontinentale and Whisk! Don't Churn.
Tonight their reunion will celebrate music, poetry and improvisation via selections of Peyrafitte's recent "Bi-Valve," a series of writings and paintings that address the feminine from pre-historic cave paintings to contemporary feminist theory and the concerns of ecology.
