Two Piece Tuesdays presents Street of Crocodiles

Two Piece Tuesdays welcomes you to indulge in wild and wonderful film and live expression. Free. Followed by the Active Music Series. This month we are featuring Street of Crocodiles by the Brothers Quay.

Film: Based loosely on the Polish writer/artist Bruno Schulz’s Cinnamon Shops (1934), Crocodiles is an intoxicating mélange of live action, puppetry, and stop-motion animation. Like so much of the Quay’s work, the film confounds descriptive distinctions between the beautiful and the repulsive, the seductive and the repellant; in fact, the world of Crocodiles is one in which aesthetic definitions are collapsed and diffused, leaving in their wake an intangible yet implacable haze of atmosphere and sensation. What emerges is a realm of sense and substance that speaks directly to, and of, the most visceral dimensions of being and consciousness.
