Our friend Lynne Sachs will be holding the third and final spring performance of Your Day is My Night on Tuesday, May 1 at the Proteus Gowanus interdisciplinary gallery in Brooklyn. copegus cost
Your Day is My Night is a unique cinema-performance event which will be enacted throughout the various project spaces. Brooklyn-based filmmaker, Lynne Sachs, will bring us a specially designed evening of film and integrated movement pieces based on her recent work with a group of Chinese and Puerto Rican performers. The Your Day is My Night Collective will explore “shiftbeds” through verité conversations, character-driven fictions, and multi-format film loops. A shift-bed is shared by people who are neither in the same family nor in a relationship. Inspired by theater visionaries Augusto Boal and the Wooster Group, the collective has worked for the last year on a series of performance workshops centered around such a bed – experienced, remembered, and imagined from profoundly different viewpoints. The audience will be encouraged to engage with the characters while walking through the gallery as a “shift-bed” house, witnessing their stories of life before and after immigration to the United States.
Film loops excerpted from the upcoming feature-length film, “Your Day is My Night.”
