Scratch (clip)
context, review to come:
Went to see Joe Yoga’s one-night-only one-man-play on Sunday and had this really affecting experience that I’m not sure I’ve had recently where I had confidently high expectations that were just, simply, completely surpassed.
With friend stuff like this everyone hopes so sincerely that the thing’s going to be a success (& in NYC that can be a very fragile hope). To have been so comprehensively blown away – it was a gift. Especially since most of the audience were part of the St. Mark’s scene, foundational to Yoga as a performer – emotionally invested, hearts tied to the plot & hoping for catharsis. Ultimately, triumphant. It was just one of those moments, I was proud to have been there.
I took some video but the camera died after about seven minutes… there’s a full vid somewhere out there, one that should do Joe more justice, and once it’s available I recommend checking it out (I’ll point to it from here, so watch this space). For now, the clip:
