Hi,
This is info about an upcoming show at 7 Stages in Atlanta. If you've
never seen Lelavision, you are in for a treat. The press release I've
pasted below is filled with all sorts of fantastical metaphors - all
accurate. Lelavision must be seen - and heard - to be believed!
AWG
Lelavision's "Rhythm of the Landscape" bursts onto the stage with
whimsical physical-music that weaves outrageous kinetic
sound-sculptures with cutting edge choreography, original
compositions, and dazzling video projections.
The theme of the piece is the cyclical nature of the universe. Based
on the polyrhythmic connection between the human body and the world
around us, this evening length, multi-media piece will explore the
relationship of heartbeat, breath, and walking pace to the larger
rhythmic cycles of the days, seasons, tides, moon phases, migration
patterns, etc.
In a landscape where trees have leaves of stone, the mountains have
strings, and the sun, the stars, and the moon are drums, gongs and
cymbols, three Kachina -like characters (Ela Lamblin, Leah Mann and
Sheli Potmesil) kindle percussive thunder in the sky. Bounding and
rebounding on spider-like, elastic cords; they splash musical colors
from a rainbow of river stones by rubbing the strings with rosin
gloves. They bring alive the sounds of fall by tapping out
interlocking rhythms in the trees. They emerge from within a
whirling steel volcano to bow and hammer out the melodies of seismic
movement. With a high-energy, polyphonic "body groove" of sound and
movement, they bring alive the natural rhythms of the landscape,
creating music where no one has gone before.
