"Histories of Water invites the viewer into a lush, engaging and haunting world peopled by mermaids, lost souls and ghosts. Inspired by Franko's feelings about water and the Long Island beaches where he spent his childhood summers, the dance unfolds in four theatrically based episodes--1. Ephemeris, 2. Sea Chant over Long Island, July, 3. Present Remains, 4. Movement for Departure. Franko deftly intertwines contemporary music and dance with images, music and movement vocabulary from the Baroque and Art Nouveau time periods. Histories of Water ultimately explores a journey through presence, memory and loss--all embodied in the complex and sensual environment of the sea--culminating in a unique "composto" of baroque and modern dance." --Stephanie Forster, ODC Theater |
