But what better place for a 16-year-old girl to figure out who she is and where she stands in the scheme of things than under the big sky that stretches across a great rolling plain, her painted face exposed to the forces of weathering from sun and wind and sudden violent rain? A lyrical, bittersweet tale of a coming of age. | |||||

Synopsis: | A clock explodes. A man departs for destinations unknown. Hypnotic songs fill up an empty house as a lone woman peers through her microscope. A theatrical event that bridges concert, cabinet of curiosities and video installation, Red Fly/Blue Bottle challenges how we listen, look, and remember. Aided by an elderly entomologist and a young doppelganger straight out of silent film, composer/performer Christina Campanella spins a sonic web that traces a young woman's discovery of her companion's deployment to a secret war and the steps she takes to make sense of his absence. Staged as a concert that unfolds within a layered video installation landscape, this production delivers a richly dense aural and visual experience. Tightly crafted songs emerge from an evocative terrain of found sounds, ticking clocks, and analog tone generators. Miniature noir films are projected onto floating surfaces and live and pre-made video animates still objects. Red Fly/Blue Bottle explores the mediating effects of memory and how we use the power of our imagination to surmount that which we have lost | |||||
