Two women sit quietly but deliberately across from each other at a simple wooden table: one is a renowned composer, singer, director/choreographer ¯ a Renaissance woman of the 21st Century; the other, a major sculptor and creator of breath-taking installations. From this intimate beginning, mercy, a stunning collaboration between Meredith Monk and Ann Hamilton, gently unfolds -- and then evolves into a swirling nexus of sound and vision. mercy is a timely meditation on the human capacity to both extend and withhold compassion, kindness, and empathy. The two women, both past recipients of the MacArthur “Genius” Award, are blazing pioneers in their respective fields. In mercy, they have joined their unique worlds to create a haunting, new universe. |
