Dance Theater Workshop, in association with BRIC Arts | Media | Bklyn, brings Faustin Linyekula to New York City for the first time this fall. A dancer and choreographer from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Faustin creates potent work dealing with identity and the relationship between art and society. His work, Festival of Lies, takes place amidst a festive party atmosphere in which food and drinks are served and a live band plays. Recorded speeches are heard offering promises and excuses, given by generations of world leaders. Performers compete to tell their stories as they create, destroy, and re-create labyrinthine landscapes of fluorescent lights, electrical cords, broken dolls, political flyers, and other urban detritus.
