Daniel Barrow premieres his new performance Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry
at the Brigantine Room at Harbourfront (235 Queens Quay West).
for The Images Festival and Harbourfront World Stage
Friday, April 11 & Saturday, April 12, 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Girl Before Mirror 2004, for the forthcoming performance "Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry"
I went last night and it was pretty amazing. Funny, sad and dark in turns. It's incredible that such simple DIY materials can be made to seem so magical.
It was also packed, so go early to get good seats.
Thanks Gabby! We're going on Saturday - I'm really looking forward to it.
Fucking wonderful, and jam packed. I propose that they cancel Images Festival next year and just do a Daniel Fest. A Barrow Jamborie.
It also made me cry.
I also thought it was amazing. I love this piece. The medium he has chosen to work with, the beautifully drawn images and the narrative which was sad, funny and beautiful. It was like an old fashioned radio play with visual aids. I was hypnotized. How much fucking work was that?!
I meant to respond earlier to your comment Thom, but I've been overwhelmed with deadlines.
Afterwards Sally asked me if his work was always so emotionally raw. I had never thought of it that way, since the crafting of these pieces is so refined his performance delivery has always insulated me from too much of the painful stuff he talks about. It probably works the same way for him too.
Leaving the theatre it occured to me that it's so fucking rare to be thrilled by art.
I wish I wasn't so jaded.
Good description Lorna! Thrilled. Thats exactly what I experienced.
He's performing the same piece in Chicago next week.
I wrote the same thing in blood on my walls the other day.
I read 'overcome with deadliness'.
Yup, that too.
