DALi’S eGg: Chapter 1 (Other People's Things) - World Premiere Screening
DALi’S eGg - Music by Nicholas Chase, Libretto by Ann Haroun, Sherrie Flick and R'Jeenah Bonney, Film by Randall Wakerlin
DALi’S eGg is a trans-media performance work that explores the connection between interactive sound and music, audio/visual relationships and story telling. A joint production of the Musical Arts/Sound Laboratory (www.mas-lab.org) and the EGG ENSEMBLE, Dali's Egg extends the concepts of interdisciplinary collaboration.
July 19, 2006, as part of the STRANGER THAN FICTION film festival, THE LAB in San Francisco will present the World Premiere screening of DALi’S eGg: Chapter 1 (Other People's Things). This ten minute documentation of the project showcases the film work of award winning animator Randall Wakerlin, with text performed by Pacific Northwest author Ann Haroun and visual designer Steven Brown, accompanied by the musical fantasy of Los Angeles composer/producer Nicholas Chase.
The Los Angeles Times writes of Chase's rave opera "...the wackiest show of the year" and the LA Weekly writes of Haroun and Chase's collaboration 22 (Taker of the Total Chance), commissioned by the Long Beach Opera, "...the human brain at its most imaginative."
DALi’S eGg is a continuation and expansion of that collaborative relationship, drawing in artists from across the United States, including Flume Press Award winning author of I Call This Flirting, Sherrie Flick (Pittsburgh, PA), and nationally reputed visual artist Steven Brown (Detroit, MI). Slated to premiere in 2008, DALi’S eGg brings visuals, music and text into a unified story-telling experience, exploring the narrative form through interactive surround-sound electronics, DJ turntables, improvisational performance, live musical-narration and animated film.
