Emile’s film is one of three unique responses by Los Angeles-based choreographers to the legendary French painter’s many scenes of wild revelry, dancing nymphs and satyrs, and dramatic action drawn from classical myth. Here a new narrative is imagined for the mythic tribe of the Sabines, of whom little is known outside of their victimization by Roman conquerors, famously depicted in Poussin’s masterwork "The Abduction of the Sabine Women." Filmed in the urban wasteland of L.A.’s Devil’s Gate, Emile’s Sabines inhabit a landscape that appears ancient and contemporary at once, in which they interact with fierceness, tenderness, shared sorrow, and unbridled joy, exuding a sense of freedom and agency over their own bodies and minds.

Amend https://chrisemile.com/Amend Wed, 24 Feb 2021 23:24:04 +0000 Chris Emile https://chrisemile.com/Amend Amend Commissioned by the MAK Center for Art & Architecture An exhibition and series of four performances by multi-disciplinary artist Chris Emile, AMEND explores Black male identity through movement, cinema, sculpture and sound. Emile employs archival & contemporary found footage with artifactual set design to re-render the modern architectural marvel that is the Schindler House into a sacred, private place: a home amenable for Black dealing and healing. An intergenerational cast of three dancers acting as one man, move the audience through the house and through time working their way through the question: who, if not me, decides what a Black man is? Mend https://chrisemile.com/Mend Wed, 24 Feb 2021 23:35:17 +0000 Chris Emile https://chrisemile.com/Mend Mend Commissioned by the Institute of Contemporary Art, LA. Through the combination of cinema, interview and contemporary dance, co-directors Chris Emile and Jackson Kroopf meditate on masculinity and the spaces and communities that inform a boy’s perspective on what it means to be a man.
