Kali Shadow Theater at
Night of the Living Fluxus

The Kali Shadow Theater is inspired by traditional Nang shadow plays popular in Thailand as well as cabaret shows from Montmartre during the 1880’s. A simple backlight screen with actors and silhouette cutouts combine to create a living collage. The performance centers on the myth and narrative of the Hindu goddess Kali and the paradox of her dual roles in creation and death.

Kali Shadow Theater is a work conceived by William Evertson for Seeking Kali, an online forum for artists exploring myth and archetype.

Happy 1st Birthday ABAD Poster
by Betty Esperanza and Susan Shulman

This photo was taken outside the Emily Harvey Foundation Gallery on opening night September 10, 2009. Magic happened that night!

The lineup of people behind us snaked up 2 blocks and Susan and I [Betty Esperanza] were mezmerized by the hustle and bustle of New Yorkers waiting to get inside this small gallery. Thanks to Matthew Rose's vision, we are all connected. A BOOK ABOUT DEATH has a life of its own and its immortal...Happy 1st Birthday, ABAD!
