THROUGH MAY 15TH
Over the past year, the artist has worked with local librarians, researchers, and neighbors to learn about the lasting impact of Hurricane Sandy on our lives today. As we reflect on the days following the storm, Jin will weave in and out of audio recordings of residents recollecting their experiences with live music and poetic narration during the presentation. These stories include the memories of flood victims who see their experiences through the lenses of being an artist, activist, historic preservation commissioner, real estate agent, therapist, and caregiver.
Just like the hazy, dreamlike days we often experience during such historical events, the stories will be presented in a fragmented, collaged, and reimagined format, weaving a common thread throughout.
Using a multimedia "crankie" performance, In the Morning will incorporate original illustrations and shadow puppets, photographs, and video footage sourced online and from interviewees. *A crankie is a storytelling device that creates moving pictures in real time when cranked by hand.
The performance will be accompanied by live music composed and performed by Jim Kalbach of Twisted Martini.
This project is funded by the Jersey City Arts Council, the Jersey City Arts & Culture Trust Fund & Art House Productions, and the Javiera Rodriguez Microgrant Fund.
Special Thanks to: John Beekman, Janine Berger, Jaz Graf, Jim Kalbach, Nathalie Kalbach, Yolanda Keahey, Donna Leto, Jack Leto, Lexie Levin, Dana Patton, Tony Sandkamp, Leslie Sheryll, and Augie Ray
