PictureYanira Castro's "a canary torsi's trilogy CAST, STAGE, AUTHOR"

The Chocolate Factory - Abrons Arts Center - The Invisible Dog Art Center
September 13-16 & 21-23

Choreographer Yanira Castro presents the world premiere of a canary torsi's trilogy CAST, STAGE, AUTHOR which will be staged concurrently at three venues: The Chocolate Factory Theater, Abrons Arts Center and The Invisible Dog Art Center.  Each part has its own home: CAST (Chocolate Factory), STAGE (Abrons), and AUTHOR (Invisible Dog). 

CAST is a concentrated study of what constitutes a cast. Each performance features a random selection of four performers from the ensemble of fifteen who negotiate a new score of movement and text at each performance. A computer-generated script is culled each night from transcripts of over 100 hours of conversation with the full ensemble. STAGE is a visual and aural fantasia that explores the Playhouse at Abrons Arts Center as a center for spectacle. Guided by longtime a canary torsi collaborators, Kathy Couch and Stephan Moore, three improvising musicians will join a rotating cast of performers to compose a score with amplified sound sources: instruments, objects, and software. STAGE explores the role of theatrical devices in forming what an audience is intended to see. AUTHOR, continuously open at the Invisible Dog through September 17!

The trilogy draws from a collection of audio and video recordings (the project’s “archive”) that Castro generated with fifteen NYC performing artists including: Kyle Bukhari, Simon Courchel, Leslie Cuyjet, devynn emory, Iréne Hultman, Luke Miller, Sai Somboon, David Thomson, Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste, Pamela Vail, Tara Aisha Willis, Darrin Wright. Stage Manager: Lillie De. Installation/Lighting Designer: Kathy Couch. Dramaturg: Susan Mar Landau. Composer/Programmer/Interaction Designer: Stephan Moore.  Find out more at links below:
