The Adrienne Arsht Center presents
REPLICA by Daniel Arsham, Jonah Bokaer, and Judith Sanchez Ruiz
November 12, 2010
Tickets: $25
REPLICA is new multi-disciplinary performance work created in collaboration by acclaimed Miami visual artist Daniel Arsham, performance and media artist Jonah Bokaer, and choreographer Judith Sanchez Ruiz. Arsham created the extraordinary set for the Adrienne Arsht Center’s 2007 Merce in Miami premiere performance, and with REPLICA comes full circle – collaborating with former Merce Cunningham dancer Bokaer and Cuban-born choreographer Ruiz to present a groundbreaking performance art event for Miami. The work will have its Miami premiere at the Adrienne Arsht Center on November 12, followed by an outdoor performance at the Museum of Contemporary Art on November 13. REPLICA examines memory loss, pattern recognition, and perceptual faculties as they apply to the human body. The piece employs built spaces, objects, lighting, and other media to create the illusion of an expanded space through the use of video and/or still images. REPLICA creates situations onstage that could not veritably exist in physical space. This happens through the use of creative geography in video and built spaces, transporting movement to different locations that appear to be just outside the audience’s sightline. With original commissioned music by ARP/Alexis Georgopoulos, REPLICA envisions a world full of imagination, movement, and stunning visuals.
