At Littlefield, comedian Jo Firestone stages the “International Pretzel Stackers Competition” as a dance-coded event built around a mock contest. The premise treats stacked pretzels like choreography, using rules, timing, and public scrutiny to turn a familiar snack into a performance object. Firestone’s background in New York comedy informs the structure, but the piece reads less like stand-up than like an inquiry into what an audience will agree to call dance. No specific NYC premiere history is publicly established, though it fits Brooklyn’s ongoing tradition of hybrid, genre-slippery performance.
