Chicago Filmmakers present tow multimedia works by three rising Chicago performance artists, Marianne Kim, Sara Kraft and Andrew Fearnside.

Invoking German Expressionism and lyrical surrealism, as well as the absurdity of everyday life, Kim and Kraft present DIALLEL (swinging by the big bang). This dance theater piece incorporates original film footage and features a pair of porcelain powdered twings on a journey through a landscape of urban demolition, marathon races and apocalyptic cocktail parties. The Chicago Reader has described Kim?s work as ?wacky?mesmerizing?mixing the comic with the sublime with out cheapening either.? BLUEBEARD by Fearnside, conjures up the multi-layered phantom of the legendary pirate and historical Satanci murderer. Balancing the bare power of Japanese Butoh-influenced movement, Fearnside and Chicago performers Douglas Stapleton and Ania Grenier stage conjurations, dream, a treasure hunt, hangings and miracles to investigate the slippery relationship between fantasy and reality in a mind saturated by violence.
