An Evening with Peterson, Savarino & Wells
"Black Enough," by Muriel "Murri-Lynette" Peterson is based on her experiences growing up in both NYC and Long Island, and discusses the tensions between African Americans and other groups within the African Diaspora.
"Inside Flesh Mountain, Part II" is part of an ongoing series of works by Portia Wells. It has previously been seen at the festival as a duet and solo and arrives tonite as a trio performed by Em Papineau, MJ Markovitz and Theo Armstrong.
Kim Savarino's BLUE BARDO is a dance theater exploration of death, dying, and the color blue. Tracing lines between present and ancient mourning rituals, this work is inspired by love stories, Chinese superstition, and a “celebration of life” party the artist’s great-aunt Edna threw for herself before dying of cancer.
