Emerging Artists Commission: Jen Rosenblit & Jules Gimbrone
Pastor Pastureis a revolving expanse of glory and shame. Through research into aural and visceral structures, this work harnesses the performers in all its queernessas soft, ecstatic, plural, unknown and full of desire. A nonsensical nature is established when sound occurs, when it registers as music and when the moving body chooses to relate or not. Logic emerges from the inside, there are no external cues for understanding.
A classic duet between dancer and cellist gets modified, blended, disturbed and tormented as the composer and choreographer enter to complicate and mediate the preciousness they created. Within the intricacy of this duet lies the solo body, three and four all in and out of relation with one another. Composition for solo cello is divested of its singularity through vocal interventions, sound spatialization, and the piercing calm of a resonating sound sculpture. With lighting design by E Jenetopulos, internal terrorisms reclaim power and images of blindfolded bodies charge the space with our knowledge of hostage situations. We are full under an empty sky.
