JULIUS EASTMAN //Gay Guerilla

“Speak Boldly - The Julius Eastman Dance Project“ - Gay Guerilla - The project is a musical-choreographic exploration of the works of Afro-American composer Julius Eastman, who passed away in 1990. The project takes into special account the broader history of minimal music and contemporary dance. It expands the spectrum of the established canon of minimal art dance pieces inspired by music and adds to it a new, previously little-heard voice. The starting point is the hypothetical question: What if Eastman’s music had become part of the musical canon? What inspirations could dance have drawn from his work? All pieces are performed live by the renowned Zafraan Ensemble.
