MAXmachina Weekend Double Feature: Vibrating Waiting for You to Touch & Have a Great Night!
On November 1st, I had the pleasure of attending the MAXmachina weekend event at MITU580 located in Brooklyn, New York. This special one-day event presented a trio of immersive and engaging works representing a cohesive blend of dance, comedy, and technology. The laboratory sets a stage for artists to connect directly with the audience, providing an entrance into the virtual world of impactful storytelling. The first showings of the evening were presented as a double feature, with performances Vibrating Waiting for You to Touch followed by Have a Great Night! These two sets highlighted human connection through comedy and recognizing the faults in one’s character in a day and age of social media and smartphone addiction.
