To continue our quest to see as much performance art pieces as possible, we went and saw the last act of James Thierree's show at BAM.
It was everything you'd want it to be - lyrical, amazing, visual, intense, with the most fantastic acrobatics, climbing up and down those huge industrial swathe of ropes. I loved it.
We've been really lucky and seen some dazzling shows lately. It had a totally different feel from Fuerzabruta - sadder and sweeter. Feurzabruta - I've told everyone I've met to go see that show, and I still can't pronounce it! - is more experiential and rave like, AU REVOIR PARAPLUIE, is more emotional and lyrical but both were fantastic in the truest sense of the word, weaving new fantasy, with amazing images. DH sees these shows and says how lucky we are to live in New York...
It's also great to see shows with another sensibility. These were not performed by American's and you can tell, there is something different about the energy or the intent. And it's great to see different perspectives.
We went and saw a very american movie last night - no country for old men, make by the Cohen Brothers, and I also thought it had a European sensibility to it, because it was about aging, and losing hope, and there was no neat happy ending, and it lacked that insistent optimism and sentimentality that I often find in American films. It was a terrific piece, wonderfully acted and directed, and sad, also...
