ARE YOU FALLING INTO THE CHORUS: MAY 9th / 2PM and 7PM
// The Chorus Is
" a living wall which tragedy draws round herself to
guard her from contact with the world of reality,
and to preserve her ideal domain and poetical
freedom. "
Its Introduction Is
" the decisive step
by which war is declared openly and honestly
against all naturalism in art. "
It Gives Us
" The metaphysical comfort...that,
in spite of the perpetual change of phenomena,
life at bottom is indestructibly powerful and
pleasurable...
the satyric chorus who live INERADICABLE as it were
behind all civilisation, and who, in spite of the
ceaseless change of generations and the history of
nations, remain for ever the same. "
It IS
" a chorus
of transformed beings, whose civic past and social
rank are totally forgotten : they have become the
timeless servants of their god that live aloof from
all the spheres of society. "
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARE YOU FALLING INTO THE CHORUS is a new dance-work by Maya Lee-Parritz, Maddi Finkel, Shirley Dai, Sarah Kellner,
which is repetition, melodrama, or playful comedy; and it is a utopian elsewhere, abstract and far-away, but ultimately intimately familiar deep down; and from concertos, experimental poetry, pop music, and sacred harp and drones;
our grammatical body,
in time and out of order.
