The Man Who Married Himself Sexuality & Self, Desire & Transformation
March 10, 2017 @ 7:15 pm - March 11, 2017 @ 5:00 pm
Three accomplished artists from different traditions – composer Juliet Palmer, librettist Anna Chatterton and choreographer Hari Krishnan – join forces to create The Man Who Married Himself, a beautiful, thrilling allegory of sexual identity.
Based on a traditional Indian folk tale, this inter-cultural masque tells the story of a man who, unwilling to marry a woman, fashions a lover for himself from his own left side. He finds himself enraptured by his creation’s perfect beauty – a mirror of his own – until he discovers that this new woman longs for another.
As told by 2 dancers, 3 singers, & 6 instrumentalists, this unforgettable exploration of sexuality and identity draws on Western and Indian performance traditions and features performers drawn from both worlds, including singers Scott Belluz, Susha Rangarajan, & Alex Samaras; dancers Jelani Ade-Lam and Sze-Yang Ade-Lam; and a chamber orchestra led by Larry Beckwith.
