Endure
A Solo River Performance
June 6-8 & 14 -17, 2014
The Green River, Great Barrington MA
Endure explores the fundamental immpermenance of life, and the enduring strength of fragile vessels- human hearts and paper boats.
It's inspired by water, images from distant lands, and the epic master of Butoh- Kazuo Ohno. I offer a humble bow to Guru Ammannur Madhava Chakyar, the great old-world master of Kuttiyattam- a 10,000 year-old Sanskrti drama form from my native Kerala, India- whom I was so priviledged to see perform a piece where one actor plays both a man and a woman. In South East Asia , there is a custom of making ritual offerings for departed ones along a river; sometimes this is done in a
paper boat.
