Off The Wall 2008: featuring Corey Dargel performing REMOVABLE PARTS

Friday, Nov 21, 2008 8:00 PM EST
at The Andy Warhol Museum
in Pittsburgh, PA

Removable Parts is performed by Kathleen Supove (piano) and Corey Dargel (voice and electronics), and directed by Emma Griffin with choreography by Yvan Greenberg.

Removable Parts is a theatrical series of love songs about voluntary amputation. In an updated version of the lover's plaint, the unrequited lover - whose heart is broken - begins to question the usefulness of his other body parts. Loosely based on medical journals, psychiatric case studies, and actors' monologue collections, the songs and banter in Removable Parts take a sideways look at amputees, devotees, and wannabes, with a balance of empathy and irreverence.

Tickets: $20/ $10 Student

"An entertaining new musical... built on humorous pop songs about how far someone will go in the name of love."
- New York Magazine

"An oddly touching series of songs about broken hearts and voluntary amputation... Dargel combines the elegant craft of a classicist with the droll wit of a pop savant. Perfectly pitched between sentimentality and detachment, [his] songs can touch even the most hardened heart."
- Time Out New York
