An evening-length dance theater work with original music and experimental video, Requiem Familiaris mines the deep and circuitous contours of a family of four, laying bare intimacies both glorious and wrenching. Gradually piercing the surface of the mundane, Daughter, Father, Son and Mother move through tender, agonizing and hilarious scenarios with internal fingers groping for underlying pulses of what is raw and real. An altered take on the mass for the dead, Requiem Familiaris cries out at small but potent daily deaths and seeks peace in the midst of dark, sometimes bright chaos......................................................Choreography by Elizabeth Dishman and the performers: Xan Burley, Janna Diamond, Alex Springer and Niko Tsocanos. Running time, approximately 75 minutes....................Friday includes artist Q&A and CD release concert with In One Wind. Saturday includes a separate kids program, ages 2-12.
