s n a p premiere: November 14, 2013 Fabrefaction Theatre When do we decide enough is enough? How long can we live with the desire for change before taking that first harrowing step? Amidst growing racial and socio-political tensions in the United States, staibdance creates an anachronistic world designed to illuminate the cyclical nature of human behavior. The costumes — mid-18th century undergarments — conjure images of French courts under Louis XIV’s reign and the political unrest that led to the storming of the Bastille. Set to a musical score ranging from Handel to the experimental electronic sounds of COH and Cosey Fanni Tutti, s n a p focuses a sharp lens on political and personal upheaval and investigates the often quiet, unnoticed moments before history is made.
