City of Bells

CITY OF BELLS: an adaptation of Allen Ginsberg's Poetry
Directed and Script by Rachel Bowditch

Presented at HERE Performance Art Cafe,
March 2000



City of Bells is a three-dimensional exploration of the poetry of Allen Ginsberg. Through theater, poetry, dance, music, art and magic, we are tried to capture this essence, weaving a collage of “images juxtaposed”. This piece is aiming at reality in a theatrical way, shedding a new light onto a world we tend to label as dark. “ A yellow paper rose twisted on a wire hanger in the closet and even that imaginary, nothing but a little bit of hallucination.”

“ Difficulties are not mastered by keeping silent about them.“ Brecht.
