Act fast—tickets are now available! Join us beneath the High Line at 7:30pm on September 30, October 1, or October 2 for Georgia Gardner Gray's High Line Art Performance commission, "Cookie" ✨
Staged in the parking lot of the Meatpacking District's final meat purveyor, "Cookie" is a story of desperation disguised as elite ambition. Gray's short play explores a cast of characters who maneuver through the cracks of a glittering superpower purely to secure their next meal. At the center is Gunnar Churchwell, a sleazy yet charismatic suit salesman who is recruited by the egomaniacal ringleader of a grifting crew of makeshift "tailors.” Their baseline rule for survival is simple: "never let them know you are hungry."
"Cookie" follows the traditional picaresque format, a literary style developed during the height of Spain’s Golden Age in which a clever but poor hero, a pícaro, uses their wits and tricks to survive in a corrupt and crumbling society. The performance unfolds around "The Lair" a twisted aluminum sculpture by the artist that resembles a street scaffold.
Join us just under the High Line for this must-see performance.
