BEAUTY – Boundaries

THU 6.2.16
@ 7:30
$20

Crossing boundaries alters our perceptions—including our perception of beauty. Come see three new multi-disciplinary works-in-process that explore this experience and teachings of the ancient texts that inspired them.

Lital Dotan / Second Floor

“Second Floor” is an immersive theater piece about an ambitious performance artist constantly testing the boundaries of her art. A violent interruption causes the line between reality and performance to become blurred.

Lainie Fefferman / Market Day

“Market Day” is a graphic novel by James Strum about a visionary rug maker in turn-of-the-century Europe whose handiwork is no longer valued in a post-industrialized world. The book comes to life in an animated film and an original score by Fefferman for the JACK String Quartet.

Shanti Grumbine / The Last Color: A Reliquary

What happens when a community is so inundated with information that they lose language completely? The Last Color: A Reliquary is a multi-disciplinary project that investigates the effects of information overload on contemporary culture.

The evening will also feature LABA teacher, Ruby Namdar.
