Dear Friends,
T.S. Elliot said that "April is the most cruel month!"
Well, it is true in some way - there are too many things to see and too
many things to wrap up before the summer! Lots of stress!
But sometimes, it is a good stress - creative stress, I guess.
So, please come to see the premiere of an expanded cinema performance
DENIZEN by KINODANCE company (whom I am part of) on *May 2, Wed, 7:30pm
and May 3, Thu, 8pm.* It is presented by the Bank of America Celebrity
Series and Boston Cyberarts Festival!
I hope to see you at the show!
warmly
Alla

*ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE *
In a day and in life, denizens are in search for space to inhabit, for
place to belong, for time to possess, for a moment to rest, traveling
far from, and ultimately returning to the self � the bodies they are
born into. The performance "Denizen" is influenced by Armenian Cinema �
masterworks by Sergei Parajanov and Artavazd Peleshian (specifically by
Peleshian�s film "Seasons" (1979)). It is an homage to Armenia, one of
the oldest civilizations in the world. Images appearing in "Denizen"
were captured last fall in the Northern Lori region of Armenia�in some
of the exact locations where "Seasons" was shot.
Formally, "Denizen" is a work that uses film as a starting point. In the
performance, five distinct personalities - denizens - mold movement,
light, images, sets and sounds to orchestrate a cycle of poetic
haikus�to transmit the mythical and ritualistic qualities of a land and
its people.
