EXHIBIT: Works on Water Variation
By Emerie Snyder
EXHIBIT is a site-responsive participatory theatre experience in the form of an art gallery tour, designed to be re-adapted to fit each different gallery or museum setting. Small groups of audience members are led through the gallery on what seems like a straightforward tour. Gradually, a fictional story emerges, both inspired by and in contradiction to the visual artwork. The version of EXHIBIT that has been developed for Works on Water engages directly (yet playfully) with the water-focused visual art on display, exploring themes of memory, reflection, motion, stillness, and what exactly happens in the instant when water turns into ice.
June 12, 8-9:30pm; June 17 12:30-3pm; June 19, 9-10:30pm; June 24, 12:30-3pm
TOURS LEAVE EVERY 15 MINUTES; 8 PEOPLE CAN TAKE THE TOUR AT EACH 15-MINUTE TIME SLOT.

LA DÉROUTE: resident work-in-progress
By playwright Helen Banner and composers Catherine Brookman and Mark van Hare, directed by Mary Birnbaum
LA DÉROUTE is an experimental play/opera that explores the emergence of modern beliefs about water and washing our bodies. On the island of Jersey, the grandson of a medieval family welcomes a new French bride off the boat. Convinced that water softens the tissues of the body and causes fatal illness they refuse to let her take a bath on her wedding night and give her a cleansing linen shirt instead. Marie has grown up with the new fashionable habits of washing and finds the smell of her new family unbearable. Discovering that the maids of the house are already secretly bathing in the sea, she sets out to convince grand-mère, the dirty matriarch of the family, of the necessity of washing with water, but is unexpectedly hampered by the loss of all her books. This concert reading combines text, vocal music, percussion and organic water sounds into an intimate and sensual piece for five voices.
June 19, 7:30pm; June 20, 1pm
