Ruins of Achelach Michelle Levy
About This Show
Michelle Levy summons the serendipitous elements that brought her to this very moment: a déja vu in a field; a religious craving; an overlooked report card that is very, very old; a letter drafted from the sky; a grandmother’s cryptic message; a scotch sour; Poland; and possibly, falafel. Performed at the intersection of premonition, research and reanimation, Ruins of Achelach shares a developing genealogical mystery as it unfolds.
In an Intro Performance Leigh Davis and invited guests perform Mother Circle, with choral compositions written by Annie Garretson for the Threshold Choir
About the Artist
Michelle Levy is an interdisciplinary artist and storyteller. Exploring the nature of personal belief systems (beginning with her own) she makes performances, rituals, imagery and text activating spaces between life, mediated experience, and fantasy, where identity is constructed. Levy’s subjects exist out of place and time, mined from memory, nostalgia, and a little bit of magic. She has performed at venues including Dixon Place, Flux Factory, Glasshouse Gallery, Gowanus Studio Space, Littlefield, Magnet Theater, Pete’s Candy Store, Secret Project Robot, Spectacle Theater, Theaterlab, and Videology in New York City, and Machine Project in Los Angeles.
