Recontextualizing what is known as a drag entertainment form, we’ve encouraged the invited performers to riff on or rethink the concept of lip sync. The results are pretty amazing. RAPID PULSE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART FESTIVAL 2016 is a five day marathon of performance art at Defibrillator Gallery in the Noble Square neighborhood of Chicago. The first five days in June, twenty-five international, national, and local LIVE performance artists will present their work in the streets, in the windows, and in the gallery. Each day will also feature a video series of performances for the camera. Yearly, Chicago audiences embrace this unique opportunity to witness performance art from around the world. Though well established and well respected, Rapid Pulse is a humble festival with a microscopic budget. We are a small group of people making large investments and sacrifices in order to champion the medium of performance art. Several fundraising efforts will take place, including our popular Lyp Sinc Show, our annual Bazaar, and our fancy Vernissage. We are actively seeking contributions and volunteers to help us in our quest.
