She Remembers her Amnesia (based on true stories)
Company:
Janis Brenner
A personal narrative, dance-opera-play, and comic drama, She Remembers her Amnesia, (based on true stories) over the course of a lifetime, Ms. Brenner investigates and reveals her own bizarre forays and adventures all in relation to the head, the brain, and the circuitous, unintended paths we take that create who we are and ultimately become. Prolific composer Jerome Begin and Ms. Brenner, in their third collaboration, marry both recorded musical episodes with “live” vocal narration and original "arias" written for her particular vocal range and performance personas. Could the question we often ask, “Is it Nature or Nurture” be expanded to include “Isn’t it also Fate or Happenstance or that one moment of good or ill-fortune that guides our unique and unpredictable lives?” And what is a “normal brain" anyway? There is no moral, no culmination, no cathartic finish-- only a circuitous, unpredictable life on-going, as is each of ours. Be sure to stick around for a Q&A with Janis after the performance!
