Revolutions
Beck+Col with Tetiana Sklyarova and Kayla Aguila
Caught between our world and the dream world, this multi-media durational performance uses voice and movement as a bridge to another realm in an attempt to create a unified consciousness. Dancers in ruffled monster costumes revolve in a state of hypnotic waking sleep around a colorful sculpture to the eerie soundscape of Songs of Sayyids and Dervishes composed by Gurdjieff and De Hartmann. A figure who appears to be directing them moves between the sculpture, the dancers, and the audience, while another trapped within the sculpture sings a haunting aria.
Performance 6:30pm – 7:30pm, 8:00pm
