Description
LAMENTATIO is a companion piece to THE FALL '01 - (premiered 09/11/06), a dance-theatre epic about the empire at the precipice of its fall. It focuses on the suicidal Global War Of Terror. LAMENTATIO examines the emotional and physical damage to victims on all sides. As for polemics, LAMENTATIO is a call for re-humanization of all victims. Any veteran and any refugee of any armed conflict from anywhere in the world will be freely admitted to any showing in this premiere run, as well as all persons of mixed abilities.
Like THE FALL '01, LAMENTATIO is not a poster piece for the peace movement, but a keening for our collective soul at a time of historical crisis and a document of our collective pain, shame, loss and suffering. THE FALL '01 is perhaps an Iliad for our time... LAMENTATIO possibly an Odyssey - a wending homeward for some, through emotional straits, across seas of grief - likely as much for scholars millennia from now.
