I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to check out the exhibition Angelika Hoerle: The Comet of Cologne Dada, but for the next two Wednesdays in June, a one-act one-woman play dramatizing the last moments of her life will be presented in AGO’s Jackman Hall. The show’s curator Angie Littlefield, has teamed up with the talent of Ryerson University’s theatre program to bring Angelika’s story to life.

I had the good fortune this morning of catching a glimpse of the behind the scenes action as they were running one of their last rehearsals, here are a few of my snaps showing Taryn Jorgensen, one of the two actresses playing Angelika.

To learn more, grab tickets, and see a very cute Youtube video of Taryn and Sochie click here.

Performance dates:

Wednesday, June 17, 7pm, Jackman Hall (Sochi Fried as Angelika), Pay What You Can (!! And the AGO is free Wednesday nights, so you can’t use the tough economic times as an excuse!)

Wednesday, June 24, 7pm, Jackman Hall (Taryn Jorgensen as Angelika), Members $15; General Public $18; Students $12.
