SOLIDÃO

January 11-14, 2012

Great Barrington MA

​​

'Solidão' in Portuguese means solitude. Inspired by the origin myth of Portuguese Fado music, the Neutral Mask canon, and the modern legacy of Japanese Butoh, Solidão follows our internal passage from Isolation to Surrender; it is an homage to death and the desire to live. despite loss and exile. Both geographically and historically nebulous, it is also an offering to all any one who has been, and is subject to war, natural disasters, and various forms of displacement.
