This just in from Libby Hague...
Sympathetic Connections and the sea battle of Dan-no-ura
September 11, 3 pm, AGO, Toronto.
For the closing of Sympathetic Connections, Von Bark & The Zen Existential Puppet Theatre and Libby Hague will create within the sculpture installation a retelling of the sea battle of Dan-no-ura, a story of courage, loyalty and suicide. Andrew Paterson will be the narrator, in the role of Hoichi the Earless, the bard who sang for an audience of ghosts and Smadar Peretz will help make it all work out.
The performance space will be standing-room-only and will allow for an audience of about twenty five people with audience participation. Those of you with video phones are welcome to film and the different clips will be edited into an on-line version.
Meanwhile, for an unimpeded view go to the Young Gallery at the AGO. It is next to FRANK and open whenever the Frank restaurant is open.
Libby Hague: Sympathetic Connections is presented as part of the AGO’s Toronto Now series, which inhabits the Young Gallery, a free, street-level space adjacent to FRANK Restaurant. Toronto Now is generously supported by The Contemporary Circle. Contemporary programming at the AGO is supported the Canada Council for the Arts.
AGO’s Toronto Now series is curated by Michelle Jacques.
