Performance

Super Smash Bros.

1 upcoming performance in New York

Not to be confused with Nintendo’s 1999 fighting game, “Super Smash Bros.” here reads as a live electronic bill framed like a crossover of scenes and personas. Staged at Purgatory, it brings together DJ TK, Porcelain Vivisection, Clown Syndrome, Uncle Blender, and Consumer Culture in a shared set where collage and confrontation sit side by side. No specific NYC premiere history is documented, but the format fits a familiar New York lineage of club nights functioning as temporary, self-made institutions. The title’s borrowed familiarity risks irony, but it also underlines how pop reference becomes raw material.
