IV Fan Tracey Guinsburg says:

Hi all at Implied Violence. I saw your performance piece at the island in NYC and was impressed enough to buy the book and enjoyed the DVD very much and all the information provided about this group.
The photos I have sent here are of the 19th of Sept taken in NYC at the New Island Festival by my sister Tania Guinsberg, and I have just made a montage of the images as an expansion of the conceptual vision. All the best on this production and others for the future.

A little musical ditty from The Dorothy K at New isLand Festival in September.

From TheaterMaker magazine, a Dutch publication:
Translation:

One of the most intriguing - and disturbing - entries from [America] comes from the Seattle-based collective Implied Violence. Their piece, The Dorothy K, unfolds both inside and in front of one of Governors Island’s gorgeous federalist homes on what’s known as ‘Colonel’s Row.’ When the performance piece is not taking place, visitors to the New isLand Festival can tour the house which has been transformed into a macabre testament to death and violence. An eerie soundscape plays throughout the house which has been arrayed with a brutally conceived array of items, including pig fetuses and pig entrails. This installation - which includes a performance which the writer was unable to experience - simultaneously chills and rivets and, even without witnessing the group’s production, this American company’s ability to fuse its vision with venue genuinely impresses.
