OPEN SESAME

Target Margin Theater is excited to return to in-person events with Magic in Plain Sight, a series of free, socially distanced, storefront performances reflecting on loss and wonder that take place in various locations in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Running October 10–30, Magic in Plain Sight features several adventurous pop-up performances taking place in empty storefronts, stoops, and parking lots along with a culminating event, Electric Feeling Maybe, at The Doxsee. The events are designed for a limited audience of ten who safely watch from the sidewalk. With the support of Sunset Park BID and the Office of NYC Council Member Carlos Menchaca, each of the different events in Magic in Plain Sight reimagines how audiences convene and connect with each other in this moment.

Under the direction of Artistic Director David Herskovits, Electric Feeling Maybe is a reflection on our moment; a celebration of what we have lost, and those who are gone. At this time when so much is missing, Target Margin Theater hopes to create a space for small groups to gather, remember, and reconnect. Featuring movement, music, and language, Electric Feeling Maybe is inspired by the idea of touch – the desire, the impulse, the attempt to touch one another. Not a play, or a conventional production, this 30-minute performance event invites small groups to gather and share a distinctly TMT artistic experience created by Ali Andre Ali, Will Badgett, Purva Bedi, Leonie Bell, Ebony Burton, Rawya El-Chab, Jesse Freedman, David Herskovits, Mary Neufeld, Grace Orr, and Stephanie Weeks.

Preceding scheduled performances of Electric Feeling Maybe, each weekend will feature different socially distanced pop-up performances created by members of the Sunset Park community with TMT Artists Kaaron Briscoe, Noelle Ghoussaini, and Jackie Rivera, in partnership with Center for Family Life and Academy of Medical and Public Health Services.

Performances of Electric Feeling Maybe will take place at 7pm and 8pm on October 10, 17, 24 (all Saturdays) and Friday, October 30 at Target Margin Theater. Reservations are limited and strictly required for this free event. Electric Feeling Maybe follows strict social distancing and safety guidelines. Face masks are required of all attendees.
