I’m awaiting a song from afar, from afar, a song of goodbye from afar. For now I’ve seen the game I was playing, slowly leaving the earth and drifting far among the stars. — Simone Forti*
Dance and movement pioneer Simone Forti will be at Redcat this weekend, performing a selection of her sound works from the last half century.
Joined by Tashi Wada, Julia Holter, Jessika Kenney, and Corey Fogel, the evening will include performances of tracks from Forti’s album AL DI LÀ—”Molimo,” “Thunder Makers,” “Censor,” “Face Tunes,” “Night Walk,” “Largo Argentina,” “Bottom”—as well as “Accompaniment for La Monte’s 2 Sounds,” “La Monte’s 2 Sounds,” and “Throat Dance.”
