176 Performance
On July 30th 2009 scenes from the Spring Equinox film and screen prints were restaged, reshaped and embellished live to the mesmeric sounds of Bela Emerson. The earthly figures of the Nanohach dancers (Eliska Kasparova & Honza Malik) revolved wildly around the deity Ostara (Zoe Simon). The 50 minute performance in 176 Zabludowicz Collection was received in silence by 70. It reminded me of the shamanic Voodoo ceremonies seen in Maya Deren's Divine Horsemen (The Living Gods of Haiti).
