Izzie M: The Alchemy of Enfreakment is a performance that explores a time in the not-too-distant past when “Indians” were considered freaks and exotics. Set during the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair and performed by Monique Mojica and Barry Bilinsky, Izzie M reveals the ways in which things that are sacred in Indigenous societies became profaned for entertainment and profit.
Mojica’s exploration of the freak show was sparked by her own family’s experiences. In the 1930s her mother and aunt (the future founders of New York’s Spiderwoman Theater) performed in the Side Show at the Golden City Amusement Park in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn, New York.
