Original lyrics in English feature the story of a woman who almost drowned in New York harbor, and the story of the wedding of the Venetian doge with the sea. In the background, we hear a man intone in Italian the instructions for what to do if someone falls overboard from a vaporetto: cast a life-saving ring into the sea. The ferry boats that rescued the passengers of the plane that landed in the Hudson River are hailed by the tolling bells of the Venetian Church of the Redeemer. “Salvation” is created and performed by Marlena Corcoran, with performance drawing by Antoinette LaFarge, and technical support by GetFriday. It is presented by Concordanze / Altre lingue, altre poetiche nel contemporaneo, as part of the Venice International Literary Conference, Incroci di civiltà. A networked performance, “Salvation” will also be projected live in different locations around the world. A video recording will be made of the performance and shown at the Querini Stampalia throughout the conference Incroce da Civilta. http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?p=285 http://www.querinistampalia.it/ ******************************* helen varley jamieson UpStage project manager [email protected] UpStage a web-based venue for live online performance http://www.upstage.org.nz ******************************* _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
