Friends,
Excited to invite you to PARALAX BEACH's debut of "Parallax Scroll".

* * * * *
Severed moments of macrocosmic balance
routinely underline human evolution. These moments intrigue, as
modernity has alienated us from the immediacy of life.
Perceptions of time become mercurial and subjective depending on
perspective. Parallax Scroll will take the audience on a revisit
through the emergence of life. A trip that re-exams light,
language, and the development of society, ending in a space
unresolved and recycled. All points can viewed when wading on a
Parallax Beach.
PARALLAX BEACH's "Parallax Scroll" is a multi-media performance
piece that bridges the abstract landscapes of sound, light,
time, and movement. A collective of artists, each utilizing
different mediums, come together to make this unique work. Wes
Johansen creates a visual representation of abstract thought
through digital video projection, edited live and synchronized
to synthesizers. Mike Meanstreetz uses avant-garde percussion
and composition techniques tangling the participants of this
ritualistic performance in a web of synesthesia . These elements
are accentuated as josie j conveys transformation to witnesses
through ritualism/ meditative movement, influenced partly by
Butoh training and a background in performance art. Also
performing in this piece are Zachary Vidal (saxophone/sampled
noise) providing textured mood, and Brennan Lowe (movement)
setting the wheel of this cycle into motion.
Invoking the zeitgeist of the night's multi-disciplinary
performance,
elle mehrmand opens with a solo piece
divined of haunting sing-song and movement, foreshadowing what
is to come.
Passing through the theater's entry way, the night's
performances will be initiated both spatial and temporally by a
traversable light and sound installation by the artist Lazer
Blade.
