The tenth annual CultureMart festival takes place at HERE Arts January 11-31, featuring twelve workshop productions and a postshow discussion series making up three weeks of experimental opera and dance, avant-garde theater and puppetry. Michael Bodel reimagines Bellini’s LA SONNAMBULA, Toni Dove examines virtual multiple personality in LUCID POSSESSION, Yoav Gal goes multimedia to retell the story of Moses in MOSHEH, and Erin Orr and Rima Fand follow DON CRISTOBAL, BILLY-CLUB MAN onstage and off with hand, large, and shadow puppets, inspired by Federico Garcia Lorca. Laura Peterson’s WOODEN takes place in a naturalistic environment of sculpted trees and metal, while Johari Mayfield’s THE VENUS RIFF looks at science and religion in regard to the stereotyping of women over the last few hundred years. We’re particularly looking forward to FLOATING POINT WAVES by dancer/choreographer Ximena Garnica and video artist Shige Moriya, who collaborated on FURNACE at last month’s Cave Butoh Festival. Tickets for all events are $15 and go fast.
