Zoe Beloff in conversation
25 March 2017 1pm - 3pm @ Firstsite, Colchester
http://firstsite.uk/whats-on/zoe-beloff-in-conversation/
Part of the #WorldsUpsideDown series of events
New York based artist and filmmaker Zoe Beloff will be in conversation
and show excerpts from a selection of her films. Including “Days of the
Commune” made in the spring of 2012 with a group of actors, activists
and artists. This performance of Bertolt’s play of the same name, about
the Paris Commune of 1871 – the first great occupation in modern history
– was made in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street.
“Thinking about Occupy Wall Street as a radical theatre of the people,
inspired us to conceptualize this project as a ‘work in progress’ in a
sense that all social movements are a work in progress. Rather than
stage the play in a theatre, we performed it scene by scene in public
spaces around New York City.”
Beloff will also discuss her work ‘A Model Family in a Model Home’
(2015). An exploration of Brecht’s stint in Hollywood and his movie
treatment about a farm family who win a week’s stay in a model home at
the Ohio State Fair, with the catch that they will be on display to the
public.
