Portraits 2003

New York Live Arts (Live Arts) and Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival will present the New York Premieres of Gisèle Vienne's L'Étang and Dorothée Munyaneza's Mailles.

ComposersCollaborative's legendary Solo Flights series returns to the New York concert scene, marking the organization's 30th year with a rare opportunity to experience Morton Feldman's last piano pieces as a cycle over three Sundays in March, performed by three of new music's most respected composer/pianists: Jed Distler, Tania Chen and Nils Vigeland.

Making her New York Live Arts debut, Gisele Vienne, in collaboration with Dennis Cooper and KTL (Stephen O'Malley & Peter Rehberg), takes audience members on an emotionally stirring journey that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. A true hybrid dance-theater work set in the visually arresting scenic landscape of a snowy winter night, Kindertotenlieder takes inspiration from the "uncanny" as presented by Sigmund Freud.

New York Live Arts presents the U.S. premiere of Gisele Vienne's Kindertotenlieder, today, October 29 - November 1 at 7:30pm in the New York Live Arts Theater. As noted by Caden Manson in an article for Contemporary Performance, Vienne's Kindertotenlieder provides 'The perfect breeding ground for the birth of the uncanny in our imagination, of the eerie blend of something that is equally familiar and strange.'

The Cultural Services of French Embassy is pleased to announce two major theater productions from France debuting in New York: Six Characters in Search of an Author by Luigi Pirandello, directed by Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota, a production of Theatre de la Ville in Paris, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (October 29 to November 2) and Kindertotenlieder by Gisele Vienne at New York Live Arts (October 29 to November 1).
