Cassandra at Mission Creek
"Cassandra at Mission Creek"
Directed by John LeFan,
Choreography by John LeFan,
Art Direction by Anna Dal Pino.
The show takes place in a real space time warp at Mariposa Studio. It begins one thousand years ago, (where the studio stands today), on the banks of Mission Creek. Crafted from the classic Greek tragedies of Euripedes and Aeschylus, the story of the prophetess Cassandra is told through dance and polyrhythmic choral chant. The play travels through time to the end of Western Civilization. The setting stays constant. Also a constant thread: the sorrow of war for the victor as well as the loser.
The piece is designed in a high contrast style. It takes its music from the "Banana" album by Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground.
