Heckling can be its own kind of performance art. Without the moral issues that often accompany heckling live performance, shouting back at a movie screen is a socially acceptable way to engage in the interactive art. Thrown in yarn and stitching and you’ve got an interesting evening’s entertainment for the right kind of person.
Late this month, UberDork Cafe hosts Not-So-Mysterious Stitching Theater 8900. Performers/audience members are encouraged to bring knitting and crochet projects to the Cafe. fiber art weaves itself into existence while jokes are hurled at a screen which will be manifesting some awful movie.
It’s difficult to imagine this event not appealing to a rather large group of people, but as of yet there haven’t been a whole lot of votes for which movie will be used as a vehicle for the heckling. As I write this, the 1990 classic Troll 2 has the most popular candidate with a whopping TWO votes. The Avenging Disco Godfather starring Rudy Ray Moore is tied with popularly bad inadvertently comic drama The Room for second place. Each currently has one vote.
Not-So-Mysterious Stitching Theater 8900 takes place May 22 at UberDork Cafe on N89 W16750 Appleton Ave Suite A in Menomonee Falls. For more information, visit the event’s Facebook page.
