Spinoza in Las Vegas
|
Saturday 1 November 2008, 19.00
Set in the fantasy world of Las Vegas, with its slot machines, dancing girls and strip lights, this live work stages the adventures of the seventeenth-century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza, radically displaced into a contemporary cyber world!
Tate Modern premieres Spinoza in Las Vegas, a new theatre piece by American artist Sturtevant, best-known for provocatively re-making works by artists such as Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp.
Spinoza in Las Vegas features an unexpected line-up of characters alongside Spinoza, such as a dummy, a ventriloquist and a chorus line of teeny-boppers. Full of fun and folly this new live work simultaneously pushes many current high tension issues.

UBS Openings is an exciting programme of events and activities which form part of the partnership between Tate Modern and UBS, a global financial services firm, over three years.
