Dallas' TITAS/Dance Unbound is presenting Alan Lake Factori(e)’s multimedia, semi-nude ‘Le cri des méduses' at Moody Performance Hall on March 17-18.
A scene from Alan Lake Factori's "Le cri des méduses," which is coming to the TITAS/Dance Unbound series at Moody Performance Hall.In 1816, the French naval frigate Medusa ran aground off the coast of West Africa. Without room on rescue boats for all 400 passengers, more than 140 were forced onto a hastily constructed life raft. The strong threw the weak overboard and eventually turned to cannibalism over 13 days with little food or water. Only about a dozen survived..
Employing video projections, visual art and dramatic, semi-nude dance movement, Lake’s group shows the suffering through a different set of mediums.“The painting is so evocative, and it makes you think of what all those people were facing,” Lake told the Vancouver online magazine. “How do humans go from helping each other to cannibalism to survive in just a few days? I wanted to jump into this story not as a narrative but as a living painting — a tableau vivant. I call this theater of image.
