In The Realm of Anansi From Assisi. “... A light, a collision, an energetic shift: Heat. We are one in pulsation. Throbbing, we undulate in obedience to the extreme variations in temperature. Our expansion and contraction is not measured. We respond to an irregular motivation that causes us to move in space. Seeking warmth, avoiding the burning source of this light that has of late become a force. At times seeking the light, at other instances finding respite in the cool shadows. ...”. - Jack Waters, Generator Pestilence Part 1. The inauguration of Le Petit Versailles’ (LPV) 2020 garden season follows the Covid-19 months of sheltering in place. In The Realm of Anansi From Assisi, an installation designed by Peter Cramer, is comprised of freestanding elements from the Spring 2020 production of “GENERATOR: Pestilence Part 1” [pestilenza.com] at La MaMa Downstairs Theater, written and directed by Jack Waters with music compositions by John Michael Swartz and NYOBS with design collaborators Peter Cramer, Austin Windells, Mike Cacciatore, Chris Roberts, Ethan Shoshan, Bizzy Barefoot, and Rodrigo Chazaro. Music, video excerpts and scent score will be included as well as a live concert by NYOBS on August 20th @ 7:30pm. In The Realm of Anansi From Assisi (ITROAFA) is an immersive environment of the storyteller Anasi, a mythical African spider god, A fantastical garden landscape as a place of pilgrimage and healing where visitors may wander finding solace and respite during this time of disease. Apropos of the climate we now find ourselves in, ITROAFA follows Generator’s premise of epidemiological effects on culture-scientifically, socially, and politically. The sculpture, visual elements, moving images, and sounds created by the principal artists reconcile science with mythology; from the evocation of the creation of the universe to the emergence of hominid creatures and culminating with the emergence of language represented by Anansi.Le Petit Versailles247 East 2nd Street / 346 East Houston St. (between Ave. B & C) www.alliedproductions.org 212.529.8815
