It’s a long time to be wearing black, forever, that is, if you’re dead. This
performance was put on by the Subliminal Space Research
Group, clearly a Naropa founded institution.
We walk into the strangely
set up performance space, a circle of seats in the middle as well as
seats along the outside of the dance floor at the Community Dance
Collective. Luckily no audience participation is requested. There are
two girls wrapped in white ribbon, tangled with bells, and surrounded by
scattered pink flowers. Awkward moments of silence are interwoven with
themes of relationship, death, and transition. It is less of a dance
piece and more experimental performance. At times beautiful and eerie
at other times dissonant and uncomfortable.
Reading the summary is
recommended to better understand story line! If you are interested in
quirky and offbeat performance, questions into the nature of existence
and sitting in the middle of a performance space surrounded by tangled
nymph-like creatures, see this show.
