Daria Fain and Robert Kocik: mayday-heyday-parfait
2017, BRIC
The multiethnic, multilingual cast of The Commons Choir sets humanity’s troubles and highest aspirations to complex musical harmonies and choreographic movement that honors the individuality of each performer. The company’s new work, mayday heyday parfait, explores the human capacity for empathy across difference—from the violent colonial history that brought us to where we are now, to a way forward where individuals follow their own paths yet maintain their connection to others. Combining song, dance, and poetry, mayday heyday parfait illuminates how our stories and histories are irrevocably interdependent.
