a biomythography written & performed by SEAN DEVARE
In First Violin, writer-performer Sean Devare chronicles his search for, and recreation of the fabled ancestor of the violin, invented by the demon(ized) king Ravana, echoing his song through the underworld of Manhattan. First Violin: darshan is the latest incarnation of Sean Devare’s ongoing artistic explorations of the epic poem The Ramayan. The gallery after hours becomes a prison, a temple, and a concert hall in a series of autobiographical and musical meditations on the re-creation and reclamation of this king of instruments and symbol of the model minority. Additional music, sound, and performance elements by Luke Santy and Tuânminh A. Đỗ. |
'First Violin: Anugraha EP' debuted for Mabou Mines' SUITE/Space digital festival as an exclusive digital event in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is the first in a series of audio experiences that will culminate in a full-length musical performance.
