There
“Artist and Poet, Etel Adnan, one of the leading intellectual figures of the day.”
Where are we? where? There is a where, because we are, stubbornly, and have been, and who are we, if not you and me?
Where are we? Out of History, of his or her story, and back into it, our in space and back to Earth, our of the womb, and then into dust, who are we?
Where is where, where the terror, the love, the pain? Where the hatred? Where your life, and mine?
In the Light and the Darkness of the Self and of the Other
There by Adnan is a poem performed by the Hot House artists. Actors dress in prismatic colors, the text is in light, shadows, and modeling. Down to the simplistic act, of cutting an onion. Poetic in all its forms.
The Wilma stage resembled a half pipe, projections of a wild style graffiti in a reel lit up the vertical wall, we felt a chaotic fleeing mood as they slide down the ramp. Audience members sat on either side, facing one another from across scene, it felt like the instability of wartime.
