Maski
Maski is processional performance, during which participants to the MASKI-workshops will be invited to wear a mask and participate in a wordless song. The masks enable each individual to transcend the self, the voices without words articulate their unique stories, resulting in the communal voice. Eventually the procession brings the individuals together in their mutual, human search for meaning.
The processions will take place from October 1-10. Workshops will be held on October 2, 3, 7, 8 from 12-4pm. Showtime October 4-6, 9, 10.
The processions will take place along 14th Street. Workshops will take place at Parsons (2 W 13th Street) October 2 room L904, October 8 room L802. October 7 workshop will be held at the Highline above 14th Street..
