Alchemy in The Kitchen—Opus 22: Envy was part of a series of performances and lectures led by Llorraine Neithardt that took place at The Kitchen in the fall of 1996-winter 1997. The series considered the paradoxes of contemporary society and the tensions that distort, transform and shape humanity. For this particular evening entitled Envy, Neithardt discussed how envy destroys creativity and acts as a powerful element in people’s daily lives.
