(Culturas Unidas Aspireran Nuestro Destinos Original) , Plexus staged its Art Opera 3, “Eve: Escape for Donna Purgatorio from 1986 Anno Domini by the Multinational Chain Gang of Dowtown New York”, created and produced collectively by 220 artists together.  Rife with symbolism, the story line of EVE art opera was about the journey of an art slave ship, on its travel through art history, escaping from the contemporary New York artworld.

It was only one hour spectacular event for the public, built for a week through an atelier des arts, performed by a cast of musicians, poets, actors, dancers, videomakers, performers and visual artists, featuring many prominent figures on the N.Y. downtown avant-garde scene, on board a metaphoric art slaves boat.
