DIRTY SECRET II at The Invisible Dog in Brooklyn was a mental journey through consumption, the macabre and over-indulgence. It was entirely interactive, subversive and transformative. Four femme masked performers sloshed about, indulging in gluttonous behavior, getting live tattoo’d and consuming the “American dream” to an original industrial soundscape by renowned artist Brian Wenner of Prism House and accompanying video projections.
