DIRTY VESTIGES—conceived, and performed this week at Human Resources, by Simone Aughterlony and Michael Günzburger—is a “close-up inquiry into both the happenstance and determinism of dirt transmission. Attraction and repulsion are mutual forces that go beyond the surface and play out in this sleazy cleaning/mess-making fantasy. In an intensely concentrated environment and companioned by a queer alchemy of materials, Aughterlony and Günzburger practice touch and the narratives produced by the surplus of touching. Vestige research accentuates the potentiality and futurity of indelible traces and acts as a response to the so-called ephemerality of performance.”*

DIRTY VESTIGES, Thursday and Friday, August 17 and 18. Both shows at 8 pm.

HUMAN RESOURCES, 410 Cottage Home Street, Chinatown, Los Angeles.
