This Week's Brooklyn Calendar of Events

LANDS AND PEOPLES”
By Jennie MaryTai Liu
at BAX/Brooklyn Arts Exchange

Friday & Saturday, April 9-10 @ 8:00 PM
Sunday, April 11 @ 6:00 PM

This performance is being presented as part of the 2010 BAX AIR Festival.

Lands and Peoples uses choreography and deep play to ruggedly weave together distinct mythologies about heartbreak. Lying at the intersection of a medieval Welsh tale, a third world memoir, and a British nationalist rant, Jennie MaryTai Liu and Sean Donovan explore structures that transform a person, a country, and a performance piece: witch's curses, immigration, physical disguise and the theatrical devices used to merge multiple stories into one. Original music by Wes Matthews digs into tropes of 'classical' and 'tropical'. Felix and Dexter Ciprian's fragmented set displays a culturally cross-bred 'front room' as a worship space made up of mundane objects made sacred by human use.

Childcare services are provided during the Sunday show at $5.00 per child. (Please purchase childcare tickets before Thursday, April 8 @ 5:00 PM. Childcare tickets will not be available at the door.)
