Based on Images
“ ‘Based on Images’ examines the desperate and frustrating days in the aftermath of Katrina when everything in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast hung in the balance,” said Davis.
The performance combines movement with dialogue to depict Katrina images. The dialogue is based on research and the books, “Come Hell or High Water: The Color of Disaster” by Michael Eric Dyson, “The Great Deluge” by Douglas Brinkley and “Breach of Faith” by Jed Horne. Music is from Ryuichi Sakamoto’s album, “1996.”
“It is important to be relevant to what is going on today,” Wideman-Davis said. “Our work is about creating movement that inspires discussion and dialogue, instead of just making movement that is about itself alone.”
