The Orpheus Variations
10.19.12 to 10.28.12 |8pm Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays
Brooklyn, NY
The Orpheus Variations, produced by the Deconstructive Theatre Project, re-imagines the classic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in the Underworld as the tale of a transcendent sound-maker struck mute by the suicide of his lover. The Orpheus Variations is a live film created in immediate time that deconstructs the classic myth from the inside out by colliding the grand narratives of Greek tragedy with the private internal narratives of modernist literature, poetry, and film. The performance is an investigation into the neurological behaviors of memory and artistic perception and of process as performance. Tickets are $30 and include attendance at the after-performance party each evening.

Some Call Refuge - An Evening of Contemporary Art Songs
04.15.12 |8:30pm
Vaudeville Park Gallery/Performance Venue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY
“Some Call Refuge” brings contemporary song cycles by three young American composers (Ryan Homsey, Michael Ippolito, and Eric Lemmon) together with art songs by David Lang and Barbara Monk Feldman, weaving poetry by Akhmatova, Blok, Longfellow, Poe, and others into an evening of intimate and intense music-theater.
Night. Solitary hotel. The moon. Some ocean throbbing. Tears of gold. A lonely woman, lost in a silver dress. Seeming trust. Last toast. A look in the mirror. A swirl in the air where your head once was. “Some Call Refuge” is a miniature “kitchenette verismo” drama for three anonymous figures, drifting in and out of a shared space, staging the transience and shiftlessness of modern desire and despair, betrayal and boredom. Featuring the superb vocal talents of Kelvin Chan (baritone), Joélle Harvey (soprano), Kate Maroney (mezzo-soprano) and piano accompaniment by Peiharn Chen and Kyle Meng. Staging by R. B. Schlather, dramaturgy by Joseph Cermatori.
