Synopsis: | A continuation of Hassabi's previous works, Show begins the moment the theater doors open, and casts a focus on the elements of live performance in a bid to make them plastic and palpable. At the core of this exploration is a paradoxical condition that must be negotiated and resolved by any live work: the attempt to be present in a moment of expression, while existing in an awareness caught by a set of definitive frames. In order to highlight these paradoxes of performance, the work has been assembled as multiple dualities. These include the relationship between the audience and the performers, and their mutually assigned spaces, movement and roles. Both the audience and the performers are implicated in the work as they share the changing sequence of what unfolds and is thus shown. It is within the time and space of this particular shared experienceits shifting bodies and facial gestures, its subtle fluxes and halted posesthat a truly plastic theater of contemporary live performance gains its images, fleeing to memory as the doors of the theater close. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Solo Show is a diptych of two autonomous evening-long solos that play between opposing orientations. The performer moves from a solitary contemplation in Solo, to a devotion to "show-culture" in SoloShow. Maria Hassabi continues her rigorous exploration of representations of the female body-embedded within art history, pop culture, and the performance of daily life-dissolving them into the physicality of contemporary dance. Solo Show, created and directed by Hassabi, will be performed alternatively by her longtime collaborator Hristoula Harakas and herself. | |||||
