Solo & SoloShow by Maria Hassabi

"The boundaries between dance, artwork, installation and performance are subtly
blurred...every sculptural position suggests unverifiable meaning...The quality
of the darkening light is as beautiful as a painting, but the effect - the
music, the spatial emptiness - is pure theater." - Roslyn Sulcas, The New York
Times (on GLORIA)

A dance diptych of two autonomous evening-long solos that play between opposing
orientations. The performer moves from a solitary contemplation in Solo, to a
devotion to 'show-culture' in SoloShow. Hassabi continues her rigorous
exploration of representations of the female body - embedded within art history,
pop culture, and the performance of daily life - dissolving into the physicality
of contemporary dance.
