SUMMARY:Wunderkammer: Dance Performance
DESCRIPTION:Join J. Lindsay Brown at The DANK Haus (German American Cultural Center) for "WUNDERKAMMER: The Cabinet of Curiosities": an eclectic collection of dances inspired by the moon\, the ocean\, and kingdoms far\, far away.\n\n\n\nThe evening begins in 1969\, a time when America burned with revolution\, internal strife\, and the discomfort of a rapidly changing world. Amid this chaos\, three men catapulted into space in an unprecedented mission to the moon\, carrying the words "We came in Peace for All Mankind." Drawing from interviews\, biographies\, and documentaries\, "Moon Stories" focuses on the tense moments leading up to the moon landing\, and the immense pressure of a giant leap for mankind.\n\n\n\nFrom the moon\, we are taken to the ocean to examine one tiny\, earthly element: the pearl. An item that has long held extreme value in society\, pearls begin their lives hidden in oyster shells on the bottom of the ocean floor\, rolling\, rubbing\, and irritating their counterpart as they form into what we recognize as jewelry. Pulling from the mysteries\, controversies\, and extreme value that pearls hold\, "Pearl Girls" investigates the development of the pearl\, starting from the ocean floor to the necklaces they eventually become.\n\n\n\nThe first act concludes with guest choreographer Helen Zoerhof's re-staged work. Intense and theatrical\, "Mit Kron und Schweif" depicts the old German poem\, "Elfkoenig" which describes how a young boy and his father venture through a mystical forest. The boy claims he can see an enticing group of elves following them. The father\, dismissing his son's claims as imaginations of youth\, tucks his son into the bed\, where the son slips into what seems to be a magical dreamland.\n\n\n\nThe final act of "WUNDERKAMMER" takes us to the world of fairytales through humor\, partnering\, text\, and dance\, Brown reconsiders the plights of several fairytale princesses to bring realism to the fantastical and three-dimensionality to well-known characters.
