Faye Driscoll: Weathering @ REDCAT
Downtown
In Weathering, ten performers move and morph on a raft-like stage, surrounded by audiences that witness the awe-inspiring evolving tableau of bodies, sounds, scents, liquids, and objects. Dancers gradually shift from barely perceptible gestures to high-velocity sprints and collisions, in what choreographer Faye Driscoll terms “a multi-sensory flesh sculpture surging through the Anthropocene.” As a vocal score resonates throughout the space, dancers spill and careen into the spiral of a hurricane. The audience is drawn into this storm, close enough to smell the sweat, hear the labored breathing, and feel the rising energy of the living symphony of bodies. In our contemporary moment when movements and forces that shape lives can seem difficult to grasp, Driscoll and her collaborators ask: “How do we feel the impact of large events in the intimacy of our own bodies?”

Mary Kouyoumdjian, Royce Vavrek, Laine Rettmer, Alan Pierson, Beth Morrison: Adoration @ REDCAT
Downtown
Adoration follows Simon, an orphaned high school student, as he grapples with his family history, racism, and intolerance in our digital age, in an adaptation of Atom Egoyan’s 2008 film. As part of a dramatic writing exercise, Simon’s teacher encourages him to appropriate details from a historical terrorist attack as an event perpetrated by his parents. When his story goes viral, Simon uses the hysteria within his community and on the internet to highlight how hate is a learned behavior, and the impact of hate on society. The fictional and actual circumstances of the loss of Simon’s family are revealed in fragments, only fitting together with the final revelation that the prejudices of Simon’s maternal grandfather led to his parents’ deaths. Presented in collaboration with LA Opera and Beth Morrison Projects, this piercing contemporary opera tells two simultaneous narratives—a fictional story of violence and betrayal juxtaposed with real experience of family strife and the rejection of the other.

Nelson Carlos de los Santos Arias: Pepe @ REDCAT
Downtown
The first and last hippopotamus killed in the Americas, the beautiful beast nicknamed Pepe by the media, was controversially shot by authorities in Colombia, deemed an invasive and dangerous threat to the community. Dominican filmmaker Nelson Carlos de los Santos Arias (Film/Video MFA ‘14) presents a film guided by a voice that claims to be from Pepe. Between encounters and misunderstandings, epiphanies and sadness, the film presents a world full of stories replete with more stories.
