Sister Sylvester - Brecht Forensics: Genetically Modified Theater

Based in New York and Istanbul, Sister Sylvester makes essayistic performances by using first-hand research and bringing together digital technology with non-human, living performers. Brecht Forensics is a performance lecture based on DNA extracted from a hat that was a costume for Brecht's Berliner Ensemble. The performance features drinks made from the DNA found on the hat and genetically modified actors that are part human, part jellyfish, part bacteria.
