Site: Yizkor
Live Performance Experience
In their collaboration, Site: Yizkor, Jewish Canadian multimedia artist
Maya Ciarrocchi and composer Andrew Conklin explore questions like: Who
honours the spaces left by the dead? How and why do people, cultures, and
identities disappear? This in-process interdisciplinary project explores
the physical and emotional manifestation of loss through text, video, and
an evening-length musical performance with a Vancouver string quartet in
an immersive projected environment.
The audience is invited
following the performances to the Sidney & Gertrude Zack Gallery for a
facilitated Talkback and casual reception with the artists.
Co-presented
with the Sidney & Gertrude Zack Gallery and in partnership with the
Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre.
