Life? or Theater?

The Performance Art Institute (PAI) welcomes French artist and director, Astrid Bas, with the debut of her newest project, "Life? or Theater?." Bas and her performers utilize dance and movement to honor the memory of Charlotte Salomon, a young artist and painter who died at the hand of the Nazis in 1943. Salomon's work, also titled "Life? or Theater?" inspired the creation of this contemporary dance performance.

In collaboration with Bay Area experimental filmmaker, Anna Geyer, this featured performance initially begins with the dance talents of Aaron Simunovich, Christina Marie Linksey, Isabella Roncaglio, and Erik Wagner.

The performers will be accompanied by the musical talents of Michael Nick.
