23. The Post Relevant Podcast episode 23 - The Birth of the Post Relevant Movement with Yehuda Duenyas


Listen Later

The Post Relevant Podcast has yet once again re-returned with the actual real and proper beginning of season 2!   Episode 23 phones it in from across the seas as host Phil Ristaino is joined by his old experimental theater buddy and co-creator of the Post Relevant Manifesto Yehuda Duenyas.  Yehuda is an actor, director, and intimacy coordinator who paid his dues in the NYC downtown theater scene creating wild theatrical experiences with his former company the National Theater of the United States of America.  But before that, he and Phil were part of a short-lived, nearly-legendary theater group called C. and Hammermill, making radical happenings in NYC, upstate NY, and PA, eventually culminating in a 3 month stint in the mid Nineties crawling the streets of Prague in the Czech Republic with a 12 day long epic theatrical extravaganza and performing in the legendary Roxy theater.  

At some point in their Czech adventures, in the back of a bar in Prague in 1994, Phil and Yehuda sat down and wrote out the Post Relevant Manifesto, a Bob Dobbsian declaration to End Construction which eventually inspired the creation of this here podcast.  WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE POST RELEVANT!

Have a few shots of absinthe and freak out as Phil and Yehuda talk about not using husband pillows, what its like to walk on top of shoes made of triangles, how tricky it was to buy hash on a boat, why you shouldn't camp in a bush made of nettles, and, eventually, just what the hell were the two of them thinking when they dared to scribe the incendiary and quickly forgotten Post Relevant Manifesto.  We find out who wrote what, sort of.  

All this, plus Hoody rides a bike in Paris AND talks on the phone!  Ooh La La!
