As part of the Archetypology Exhibit, curated by Ivana Rezek, the Seeking Kali Shadow Theater will be staged during the opening this Friday. (June 10th. - performance time 8:30)
The Theater combines puppets, hand drawn sets, cut outs and live performers in a 15 minute performance loosely based on traditional Nang puppetry and morality fables. In this version as the goddess blithely goes about her business of creating a perfect world she finds various demons and forces bedeviling her efforts. The theater design and characters are by William Evertson with an original musical score by composer Larry Cohen of Canada.
Throughout the opening the submissions from the 2010 Seeking Kali artist call will be shown. Over 80 international artists are represented in the eight and a half minute looped video. The call contains a variety of works submitted on the subject of the Hindu goddess Kali. The call was curated by Susan Shulman, Ria Vanden Eynde and William Evertson during the fall of 2010.
The video and poetry submissions will also be screened throughout the opening.
Mobius is located in Boston at 725 Harrison Avenue. Reception from 7-9 with artist talks and light refreshment.
The Seeking Kali DVD containing this archived material is available via Paypal from our website.
