In a radical reimagining of the seminal film, director Genevieve Fowler creates a liminal memory space in which lineage, histories, and the personal lens expand, inform, and liberate the powerful women of Bergman’s world. Collaging the film’s text and visual narrative with the performers’ individual experience, the work offers an exploratory space, expanding previous perceptions of the seminal film.
With original composition by renowned haegeum performer and composer Jeonghyeon Joo, this international collaboration brings the viewer into a dreamlike environment through deep listening, collage, and the performers’ individual experiences.
Cries and Whispers is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
