SX STREET is a performance with dancers, actors, composers, writers, performers, sound, radio, video, set and costume design all in collaboration with international artists who credits range from the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, the works of theatrical visionary Robert Wilson, the NY scenes of new music and the visual arts, to numerous arts centers worldwide. Conceived and directed by Marisela La Grave, this event introduces an experiment with perception of mediums and the life of the street itself.

The performance will take place outside at the intersection of Essex and Rivington Streets (two blocks south of Houston) on New York City's Lower East Side. The primary vantage point will be from the second floor windows of Magnetic Laboratorium. However, some viewers may wish to watch from the street and be closer to the action as that the piece will rigorously follow the second-by-second timing of a kaleidoscopic soundtrack compiled and created by John J. A. Jannone and Miguel Macias. This soundtrack will be played over a sound system in the lab as well as be broadcast on a short-range FM radio frequency, which the performers will listen to over the earphones of a Walkman radio (and any audience member who brings one). Interweaving throughout this recorded soundtrack will be a layer of live music by composer/keyboardist Patrick Grant.
