 Image from The Telephone Call: A text by Dorothy Parker is woven into a soundscape of music and sound effects. A woman has a long and torturous wait for her lover's telephone call and a desperate longing for love. A longing leading to the inevitable need to let go and liberate herself from dependency. InnerLandscapes at Merce Cunningham 2001, Joyce Soho 2004  Image from Living Room, conceived and choreographed, Nomi Bachar, music and text: Chava Alberstein, sound arrangement: Alex Bezgin. In a living room, a woman flashes back to herself as a young girl in a world of isolation and fear. She sees herself reaching out to her father for connection and help. He is unable to respond. The two personas (the woman and her inner-girl) re-experience a time of heartbreak and a sense of death. The piece unravels the process of the woman guiding her inner-girl to find her own voice and freedom. InnerLandscapes at Joyce Soho February 2004. |
