Film Screening: Dies Irae

Dies Irae, performed by the Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards from 2003 to 2006, marks a first in Workcenter history, as it explores the ways in which work related to Art as Vehicle can reside in a performance that actively takes into consideration the spectators? journey of perceptions. It combines work by T.S. Eliot, Franz Kafka, and ancient anonymous scripts with songs ranging from Gregorian to Chinese, resulting in a theatre piece unlike any other. The footage in this world premiere film presentation was recorded in Pontedera, Italy, in April 2006, in the frame of Tradition and Performance, an activity of Tracing Roads Across. www.theworkcenter.org

The Screening will be followed by an open conversation with Mario Biagini, Associate Director of the Workcenter, who created the textual montage and performed the lead male role in this piece.
