BUILDING by Colin Quinn and Vincent Piazza
About This Event
BUILDING brings together Colin Quinn and Vincent Piazza at Pioneer Works. Quinn is an American stand-up comedian, actor and writer known for Saturday Night Live and his comedy specials. Piazza, a New York–based actor and musician best known for portraying Lucky Luciano on Boardwalk Empire, contributes a focus on narrative clarity and a performer's sense of rhythm to spoken-text performance.
About BUILDING
BUILDING lands at Pioneer Works as a rock/pop performance piece led by Colin Quinn and Vincent Piazza, two New York–shaped storytellers from comedy and screen acting. The work turns the idea of construction into a running inquiry, moving between spoken narration and song to track how cities and reputations get made. It has no widely documented NYC premiere history, but its placement in Red Hook matters, where art spaces sit beside real redevelopment. The sharpest moments treat “building” as both labor and mythmaking.
