Five Fights

FIVE FIGHTS was a Virtual Celebration (and/or Roast) of an East Village Poem,” fetes one of Off-Broadway playwright/actor Robert Galinsky’s most popular spoken word pieces, FIVE FIGHTS. The poem is from a collection of works called “The Mayor of the Lower East Side Speaks”, which High Times Magazine reviewed saying, “Galinsky is manic, takes rapid-fire shots at drunk drivers, firearms, and bicycle messengers with almost psychotic precision.” This program features 12 artist interpretations of the poem, each under 2 minutes, and each with a unique look and feel. Galinsky has performed the poem in New York, Los Angeles California, Buenos Aires Argentina, Aberswyth Wales, Napoli Italy, London England, and also in the bathroom, bedroom, and living room. FIVE FIGHTS made it’s Franklin Furnace Virtual Loft debut, so sit back and enjoy a dozen variations of a classic East Village literary anaphora.
