“Object of her Affection”
at Los Angeles Exchange
[LAX] Festival, 6th Ed.
September 27—October 13, 2018

LOS ANGELES, CA (Sept 7, 2018) – Object of Her Affection is a solo object and puppet-based performance art piece centered on a woman, who in her search for true love develops intimate relationships with inanimate objects.

Created by Marsian De Lellis, and developed with director, Michele Spears, this unconventional love story explores the synesthetic relationship between objects and personalities, and ways that objects can occupy more than one meaning at any given time. There will be twelve performances over three weekends from September 27th to October 13th at Automata as part of Los Angeles Exchange [LAX] Festival, 6th Ed., produced by Los Angeles Performance Practice.

THE STORY

Object of Her Affection follows the emotional journey of protagonist, Andrea Lowe, after she has mysteriously fallen from a building. In her final moments, she reflects on her meaningful relationships starting with her first love, a baby’s blanket. As an adolescent, she loses her virginity to a bad-boy hunting rifle and subsequently becomes infatuated with a controversial wall. As Andrea evolves, so do her desires. In adulthood, she forms doomed relationships with monumental structures: a high-profile statue, tragic twin skyscrapers, and a bridge who cheats. Each of these relationships has a profound effect, shaping Andrea’s views on life and love. Finally, she finds solace in Roy, a crumbling tenement who ultimately fails her. (More)
