Modern Prometheus
Many of you know of Osseus Labyrint from their appearance in Tool's video which (to my knowledge) debuted on MTV a few years back or during Tool's 2001 tour (Osseus performed live with them). Other's may have been blessed with the experience of seeing their public performance "Them" under the historic First Street Bridge and in the Los Angeles River during October, 1999. Regardless, you're going to want to see Modern Prometheus LLC presented by UCLA Live on one of their five dates in November.

November 17-21 2004, osseus labyrint, in association with Barry Schwartz (AKA Dr. Pank), will present the world premiere of MODERN PROMETHEUS LLC as part of the UCLA Live Performing Arts Series. UCLA Live is one of the most prestigious and groundbreaking series of its kind in the USA and osseus labyrint is the first LA-based group to be invited to participate in UCLA Live’s International Theatre Festival.
osseus labyrint employs diverse media, including the human body, film, video, sound and set constructions and has been presented live and broadcast around the globe. Barry Schwartz, works with machines, electricity and their acoustic properties and has toured and performed with his large-scale electro-mechanical structures in twelve countries.
In MODERN PROMETHEUS LLC, osseus labyrint and Barry Schwartz (AKA Dr. Pank) conspire in an elegant collision of raw physiology, stark mutated movement, electro-mechanical machinery and high-voltage electricity.
MODERN PROMETHEUS LLC depicts the corporate launch of a new life form: Human Analogues, “built from the atom up”, and imagines the first attempt by a species to acquire control of its own evolution through artificial selection. The assembled spectators will witness the galvanic animation of vat grown tissue into Human Analogues, followed by programming of the newly activated Analogues, physical demonstrations of their general and specialized uses and surgical procedures to add anatomical accessories. The exhibition’s highlight takes place when one of the female Analogues, after artificial insemination, gives birth to a machine.
