Lawn

In his new multimedia work, Lawn, Tere O’Connor adds video to his richly textured, masterful blend of theater and choreography, in a provocative union of environmental issues and the poetics of dance. From Hyper-Bavarian, romanticized depictions of forests to the most extreme visions of contamination, the work ponders our evolving relationship to nature and the degradation of the natural world. Assimilating concepts such as changing ecosystems, recycling, cultivated gardens, trash, the random growth patterns of the wild into its creative process, this production weaves a series of narrative/abstract films into the stage action to create a multifaceted theatrical vision of their coexistence.
