"Census: the seed of an apple"

A musician acts like a scenic instrumentalist and not only to accompany the dancer. He creates a profound relationship whit the other two artists in the environment they inhabit, breaking through conventional forms to make a sound. Without hiding on a different level or in the pit of an orchestra, he takes over the entire scenic space. A complete man who uses his techniques, his body and his voice to express the whole human being without adornments.

A singer creates a dialog with dancer and the musician uses and internal, instinctual language that vibrates in the space.

The dancer is like a giant in a cabin in the Catskills who shows the audience a Darwinian Evolution using his body. In the beginnings he moves as a primitive cell on the earth and changes into an upright human being. In this transformation, he explodes creating a dramatic and potentially dangerous condition. he travels past an intermediate level that evokes this transition between primitive and modern times.

Like a school of fish, a pack of dogs, and a flock of birds travel together from one point to another, this trio of artists travel on a course together in an act of solidarity. As they move they use human invention, sound technology and electrical instruments to supplement their vision and journey. Their journey is basic and natural to humanity demonstrating to the audience how society can co-exist without moving backwards.

Two hours from the increasingly "Organic" Big Apple (where one can find an abundance of Whole Food Markets) a group of artist explore a more natural way to create and perform. A singer, a musician and a dancer transform the Catskills Mountains into another type of apple, not-so-big but more authentic and satisfying.

Thank you!!
