CREPUSCLE and WAREQUIEM, 2007 Alan Sondheim, Foofwa d'Imobilite, Azure Carter at Millennium Film 66 East 4th Street New York City Saturday March 10th at 8:00 Telephone 212-673-0090 for more information. "Since 1983 the amazingly prolific Alan Sondheim has appeared at Millenn- ium on a regular basis with substantial new works. This time the multi- talented media artist has come up with a highly erotic and controversial feature entitled CREPUSCLE (TWILIGHT) which stars the remarkable dancer, Foofwa d'Imobilite, along with Azure Carter and Alan Sondheim. The program will include several short pieces shot in Switzerland." (CREPUSCLE is a mutual production of the three of us. The program will most likely include one work, WAREQUIEM, shot in Second Life.) "CREPUSCLE (TWILIGHT) explores the exigencies of dance, eroticism, cultur- al constraint, and arousal; it was edited from over a dozen segments in Geneva. The work tenders the null-point of language, a point where words stutter, where the body takes over, stumbles, where cultural tropes are transformed and disappear. It's the deliberate recreation of repressed memories. It challenges the conventions of dance, turning dance inside- out, turning dance out. For the three of us, it's the culmination of an erotic element in our work that subtexts and disrupts the performative itself. CREPUSCLE rides the muscle of the body and jouissance, opening a territory which remains virtual, haunting." (A.S.)
