CULTUREWORKS is proud to present "THE SUN RISES IN THE EAST", a new performance art piece by Performance Artist Brian Shapiro. Like unexpectedly ingesting a strong hallucinogen, witnessing firsthand the events of September 11th created a massive transformative reality that had never before been experienced. In this solo performance, a satin setting is created to lasso that absurd, scattered, and raw energy and transform it into a visceral world of potential beauty.
Brian lived and taught in New York City at the time of the attacks. His classroom building partially destroyed by falling debris, he had to continue teaching just blocks from the wreckage for months afterwards. He combines vignettes of dance, storytelling, and theater, to reflect the energies, reactions, and sensations associated with 9/11, and converts them into positive transformative possibilities. The vignettes prepare audience members to collaborate with Brian to assemble a space of beauty, reflection, and temporary transcendence, providing a direct experience rarely seen in traditional theater. It is within this shared space that the possibility for growth and positive transformation can occur.
