Description
Michelle de la Reza and Peter Kope are the principal dancers of Attack Theater. Appropriating three discarded booths from a popular North Side bar and installing them at 1414 Monterey, they have set up memory games and small video sequences on the tables. In one, a telephone is available for visitors to the show to call the artists and have a brief conversation about the work.
