The evening will include works from John J Zullo Dance/Raw Movement’s repertory including ALL what THIS do HAS you HAPPENED see? BEFORE, as well as the World Premieres of this Exquisite diversion/mysterious Skin and project Xiii, which includes guest performers Barry Blumenfeld of TAPFusion, and choreographer Jeff Rebudal, among others. Mark Simpson is the lighting designer for the 2013 Season.
ALL what THIS do HAS you HAPPENED see? BEFORE explores perception, perspective, the insistence of memory and the inevitability of repetition. Events unfold, remembering actions we have seen, how they differ from what actually occurred versus what we remember having happened. Movements are repeated, constructed and then deconstructed, rearranged then viewed from different angles shifting the perspective to create something familiar yet new. The work creates a clear space for the action to unfold as the audience is invited to watch the work from any side of the space, as well as within. The music includes works by Monolake, Ludovico Einaudi, David Lynch, and Autechre. Costume design by Hector Perez, lighting by Lily Meyer and set decor by Lily Meyer and Zullo.
This Exquisite diversion/mysterious Skin delves into the physical manifestation of extreme psychological experiences where individual’s are blocked from accessing the memories of events that happened. An out of body experience as the walls of mind and memory are slammed and mined for fragments of a lost story whose effects are felt but not always recalled. Using the text of Scott Heim’s novel “Mysterious Skin” as a map and compass for the work where two young boys are sexually exploited and assaulted and the different ways their psyche’s process and both accept or deny the trauma and the subsequent courses that are set in motion in their lives. The piece features a live performance by singer Jessie Davis. Sound score by David Englehard includes Olafur Arnalds, Max Richter, Deru, Jefferson Friedman, and The Mama’s & The Papa’s. Lighting Design by Mark Simpson, Set Decor by Lily Meyer and Zullo. Costumes by Zullo.
