It’s Got “Porno” In The Title. You’re Going.

RO2’s Downtown space could barely house the last public offering of “Pizzicato Porno,” a new piece of dance and performance by Justin Locklear and Danielle Georgiou. It wasn’t the gallery’s fault; only so many giant weather balloons, video art projections, pieces of DJ gear, sweaty convulsing bodies and eager audience...

RO2’s Downtown space could barely house the last public offering of “Pizzicato Porno,” a new piece of dance and performance by Justin Locklear and Danielle Georgiou. It wasn’t the gallery’s fault; only so many giant weather balloons, video art projections, pieces of DJ gear, sweaty convulsing bodies and eager audience members can press into one space. That’s a metaphor befitting of “Porno,” a work that unpacks a storage room’s worth of emotions to relay the tale of a love’s unravel. It’s been performed minimally but to great acclaim in California and select Dallas offerings. On Sunday you can see real-life couple Georgiou and Locklear go through the energetic, joyful and sorrowful motions of a relationship’s end at Margo Jones Theatre of the Magnolia Lounge in Fair Park (1121 First Ave.). It’s pay-what-you-can, so do that and in turn support performance art in Dallas. The detaching begins at 7 p.m. and there is some light nudity, if that helps.
