Kitchen

Instructed by Warhol to write a vehicle for Edie Sedgwick in a completely white setting, scenarist Ronald Tavel created one of Warhols most iconic films. Here a group of performers of all stripes the sink and litter basket receive equal billing to the human actors are forced into Warhol and Tavels cruelly comical theatre of the absurd. Inside this cramped domestic space, boredom, confusion and a sense of existential dread hang heavy in the air. Warhol and Tavel transform the modern 1960s kitchen replete with the latest gadgets and conveniences into a chaotic laboratory for self-creation and interpersonal conflict.
