Dhoom Dhamaka! and A Body Parted : New Works by Joti Singh and Violeta Luna September 11, 2008

CounterPULSE Presents:
Dhoom Dhamaka! & A Body Parted
New Works by Summer Artists in Residence
Joti Singh & Violeta Luna

On the anniversary of September 11th, CounterPULSE presents fresh work by two artists who speak directly to the displacement and transformation inherent to the experience of immigration, and the personal cost and the War on Terror. Together, they weave dance, theater, music, and multimedia into a rich personal tapestry with broad political implications.

Dhoom Dhamaka!

A collaboration between Joti Singh's Duniya Dance Company, musician/dancer Boynarr Sow, and painter Daisy Rockwell, Dhoom Dhamaka! explores the individual identities of both those in power and those divested of power by the so-called "War on Terror".

Border TRIP(tych) II: A BODY PARTED
(shrapnel of present time / esquirlas de tiempo presente)

Performance artist Violeta Luna, known for her work with Guillermo Gomez-Peña, presents part two of Border TRIP(tych), a movement, sound and media-based performance-art piece focused on an immigrant's journey as she leaves her home in Latin America and arrives in the US searching for work.
