[more info:]

“You Are Here (The Maze) is a performance festival in a sculptural maze taking place at Williamsburg’s Death By Audio from September 10 – October 2, 2009. Emphasizing the sprawling and interconnected nature of New York’s underground, a trip through the maze offers a peak inside NYC’s diy art/music scene. A meditation on passage and desire, You Are Here engulfs the space and presents beckoning inhabitants, dead ends, and uplifting epitaphs. Medium and genre vary and overlapping and simultaneous performances are frequent, each performer establishing a different corner or dead end as his or hers. Participating artists in the 3-week festival include Skeletons and the Kings of All Cities, Zs, Excepter, Mick Barr, Knyfe Hyts, The Present, Loud Objects, Grooms, Effi Briest, Extra Life, Mike Pride, Dan Friel, Ninjasonik, Vaz, Pygmy Shrews, Nine 11 Thesaurus, and many many others.

The following performance schedule should be used only as a loose guide. You Are Here subverts prefab expectations for both audiences and performers—there is no prescribed order, start time or end time, duration, location of performance, relation of audience to performers, and so on. All of the participating artists have been asked to create something site-specific since the performances will, in fact, take place within the maze. Audiences will be asked only to expect something unusual.”
