A
new diptych work by Maria Hassabi, commissioned by Crossing
the Line, PERFORMA, and Performance
Space 122, is composed of two evening-long solos. The first, entitled Solo, will premiere as part of Crossing
the Line 2009, while the second SoloShow will premiere as part of PERFORMA 09.
In Solo, Hassabi performs with a Persian area carpet.
The carpet becomes, variously, a prop object, an outer skin,
and architecture. These shifts describe the negotiation of
desire in a dancing figure as it approaches visibility within
the space of a given frame. This desire manifests itself
as a changing temporal process, as complex and interwoven
as the many patterns in the carpet. |
