On Sept. 16 and 17, YBCA and Z Space present New York experimental ensemble Big Art Group, transforming Florida Street into a film set of sorts for The People: San Francisco. The site-specific performance combines live theater with large-scale, real-time video projections on Z Space’s exterior. Juxtaposing live reenactments with clips of taped conversations, The People: San Francisco brings the concept of reality TV to a new level. The People, which first premiered in Italy in 2007, is part of a larger cross-cultural work that will eventually combine dialogues from all its global exhibitions. Starting at 6:30pm, prior to each evening’s performance, the block will be closed off for food and drink vendors, including something called “The Taco Throwdown.” Performances start at 8; $10 in advance at ybca.org or cash only at the door.

September 16-17 at 8PM @ Outside Z Space, 450 Florida St, San Francisco
