Caddy! Caddy! Caddy! - William Faulkner Dance Project
The face of the sitting man was vague and dull and loose-lipped, and his eyes were clear and blue as cornflowers, and utterly vacant of thought; he sat a shapeless, dirty lump, life without mind, an organism without intellect. Yet always in his slobbering, vacuous face were his two eyes of a heart-shaking blue, and gripped tightly in one fist was narcissus.”–William Faulkner
Caddy! Caddy! Caddy! is an epic dance work, with a live sound score and evolving, dynamic installation. This evening length performance, is an abstract portrayal of several of William Faulkner's works. Utilizing simultaneous, disparate and distinct intimate passages, the dance moves with a sense of confinement, entrapment, sadness, loneliness and courage.A simple play of light becomes the medium for a face dancing the ravages of unforgiving time. Darkness illuminates the rhythm of the telling with speaking, sobbing and laughter. Faulkner's stories unfold, without foregrounding cause and effect, through many different interwoven voices, forming a nonlinear composite - a rich blur of life. Evoking subtle essences, with this reckoning of time, Oguri presents Caddy! Caddy! Caddy!.
