STUDIO SERIES: Sahar Javedani

Created by Dance Theater Workshop (See other events)
The Turquoise Lounge is a work that examines the physical and emotional territories of allegiance. Inspired by a true event, The Turquoise Lounge is a laboratory of linguistic confrontations, visceral resignations, and voracious appropriations following a small group of travelers detained at airport customs. Placed deliberately in an intimate setting, the audience is visibly caught within nets of bewildering and puzzling interdependencies. It is these characters’ desperate search for the familiar, resistance to change, and perverse need to connect that simultaneously reconfirms and dismantles stereotypes of the Middle Eastern and Western diaspora respectively.“The whole piece occupies an area of comic limbo where it's never completely clear what is genuine and what is satirical, from the heavily accented English to the commentary to the dance solo itself, though clearly Javedani is one sharp woman.” - Quinn Batson, offoffoff.comMar 11 - 12 at 7:30pmIn-Process Talk Mar 12 moderated by Elizabeth Zimmer$5 Suggested DonationCall 212.924.0077 to make a reservation.
