The Manganiyar Seduction at the Rose Theater
The New York Times, November 24, 2010
By a sizable factor, here was the White Light Festival offering that moved me most. (No, I did not see all of them.) That point is probably the reason why the way this review ended actually surprised me. I was also happy for an opportunity to cite an interview in the program notes by Anastasia Tsioulcas, a friend and colleague since around 2000. (Umm, wow: happy decade to us!)
I expended a considerable number of words in this review trying to describe what the set looked like and how it worked. Here on the web, though, you've got the option to just see for yourself. I recommend checking out the video embedded below--and whatever else you do, don't pause or turn away before the stupefying battle of jawharp and castanets.
