“Blue Plate Special” is a tribute to diners and coffeeshops - the communing over
food and a cup of coffee as part of everyday workaday life in the city. A
cornucopia of diner dreams presented by Broken Toys, a shadow play collaboration
between artists Stephanie Wuertz and Alice Cohen w/ rotating musical
accompaniment.
Using primitive materials such as flashlights through cardboard cutouts and
found objects, Broken Toys is an improvisation based on spontaneous play.
With sound by Dominika Mazurová and Shelley Hirsch.

Stephanie Wuertz: a NY based visual and curator working in film, drawing and performance
