Premiere of music from NPM founder, Jack Gabel's new sound track, as Resident Composer to Agnieszka Laska Dancers who are invited by Instituto Querétano de La Cultura to premiere LAMENTATIO November 7th in the Gala Opening Season of Ciudad del Arte y Cultura in the new 2500-seat performance hall - pride of Querétaro, México.
New choreography by ALD and IA Directors, Agnieszka Laska and Curtis Walker, to a new score by ALD Resident Composer,
Jackie Gabel composed around excerpts from the Missa pro defunctis - Requiem of Roman Maciejewski, with projected montages by video artist, Takafumi Uehara. Poetry is from "POEMS FROM GUANTANAMO, THE DETAINEES SPEAK," edited by Marc Falkoff, U. of Iowa Press, 2007 and "HERE, BULLET" by Brian Turner, A. James Books, 2005. Performance video footage will be edited/authored to DVD and submitted to international film festivals.
LAMENTATIO is a companion piece to THE FALL '01 - (premiered 09/11/06), a dance-theatre epic about the empire at the precipice of its fall. It focuses on the suicidal Global War Of Terror. LAMENTATIO examines the emotional and physical damage to victims on all sides. As for polemics, LAMENTATIO is a call for re-humanization of all victims. Any veteran and any refugee of any armed conflict from anywhere in the world will be freely admitted to any showing in this premiere run, as well as all disabled persons.
Like THE FALL '01, LAMENTATIO is not a poster piece for the peace movement, but a keening for our collective soul at a time of historical crisis and a document of our collective pain, shame, loss and suffering. THE FALL '01 is perhaps an 'Iliad' for our time... LAMENTATIO possibly an 'Odyssey' - a wending homeward for some, through emotional straits, across seas of grief - likely as much for scholars millennia from now.
June 3 - 8 pm NPM founder, Jack Gabel's latest work premieres on 20th anniversary of the Tienanmen Freedom Demonstrations and tragedy with Portland Vocal Consort, The Dickson Quartet, Nancy Wood and Jeff Winslow.


Program:
Works of Cascadia Composers founding members (David Bernstein, Greg Steinke, Dan Senn, Gary Noland, Jeff Winslow, Tomas Svoboda and Jack Gabel) were performed - complete program with streaming audio/video.
The Cascadia Chapter is the ninth and newest of the Los Angeles-based National Association of Composers/USA (NACUSA), with other chapters in San Francisco, Southern Oregon, New York, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia and beyond. Cascadia, a composition and performance-oriented group, represents composers in Northern Oregon and Southern Washington.
