Blue. Blue. Blue. Man oh man oh man. Grab the Group as it hustles, bustles, rambles, scrambles by. You’ve heard of it. Them. Nah, it (= collective noun.) Not people, exactly. They don’t look like you. They don’t talk like you. Actually they don’t talk at all. ? C’mon, you know this. Comedy. Pantomime. Tribal rhythms. Music too. However, co-founder Phillip Stanton did speak, saying this phenomenon encourages people to “reconnect with their own sense of wonder and discovery.” He, plus two-thirds of the initial trio, Chris Wink and Matt Goldman, bounced into their concept in 1987 and kicked it into high gear off-Broadway four years later. Their thing is still up and running, 23 years later. Internationally too. Sure.No words. /. Elements:Plumbing, information pollution, following bliss, tiny objects, massive ones, eternal Twinkies, modern objects alien to innocent creatures such as they. They splatter. Front row ponchos provided.
