"Susana Cook has been slapping New Yorkers silly with her butch
lesbian performance art long enough to be more than just really good at
it."-Shout magazine
New York-based Argentinean performance artist Susana Cook returns
to the Kitchen with an evening-length work of political theater, Gross
National Product. After shows as popular as Conga Guerilla Forest,
Hot Tamale, RATS, the Fantasy of Extermination, and Tango Lesbiango,
Cook probes further into interwoven issues of racism, nationalism, and
homophobia with her wild brand of theatricality. In Gross National
Product, eleven homeless women set out to understand economic structures.
As they begin to unveil their own destiny and the meaning of history,
the "fourth wall" of traditional theater collapses, launching
everyone into chaos.
