Aaron Piepszny

The average customer may not notice, but Rust Belt Books has quite a nice theater space hidden in back. The original home of the Real Dream Cabaret, Rust Belt has heightened its profile, regularly hosting readings, art openings, plays, and performance art. Audiences will get a little of all those on Saturday (July 15), with the debut of Aaron Piepszny’s one man show, Mimee-O-GraphiTti: The Funky Vocab. Billed as a “post-modern hip hop mime drama and mind bending anatomical time distortion,” the event promises to be something altogether different — no surprise from the multi-talented Priepszny. A dancer with a degree in anthropology, he performed creative “fire movement” at Music is Art and most recently appeared in Pick of the Crop’s multi-media ensemble dance performance Elemental. Mimee-O-GraphiTti (which sounds like a perfect prelude to the upcoming Infringement Festival) starts at 7:30pm.
