An adaptation of Samuel Beckett and Jasper Johns’s Foirades/Fizzles by the Piehole theater group

In 1973 and 1974, Samuel Beckett translated a set of his prose poems, Foirades, into English as Fizzles. (The French “diarrhea” or “shit” becomes a slightly more ambiguous English.) Foirades/Fizzles entered into limited circulation as an elegant collaboration with Jasper Johns, published by Petersburg Press; in 1976, Grove Press produced an expanded run. Johns’s etchings emphasize his calligraphic and repetitive style. Of one fizzle, Marjorie Perloff has commented that the “phrasing is that of a telegram.”

On June 4, Triple Canopy will host an hour-long interpretation of Beckett and Johns’s artist book by the New York–based Piehole theater group. Incorporating theater, dance, electroacoustic sound, and live and recorded video projection, Piehole’s The Fizzles promises a compellingly imperfect meeting of media.

Triple Canopy is an online magazine, workspace, and platform for editorial and curatorial activities. Working collaboratively with writers, artists, and researchers, Triple Canopy facilitates projects that engage the Internet's specific characteristics as a public forum and as a medium, one with its own evolving practices of reading and viewing, economies of attention, and modes of interaction. In doing so, Triple Canopy is charting an expanded field of publication, drawing on the history of print culture while acting as a hub for the exploration of emerging forms and the public spaces constituted around them. Triple Canopy is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization.
