Soul Leaves Her Body November 22, 2010

'Soul Leaves Her Body' is a collaborative effort by HERE residents filmmaker and video artist Peter Flaherty and dance theater artist Jennie MaryTai Liu. Inspired by a 13th century Chinese story, 'Soul Leaves Her Body' is an original work of movement, text and video that explores the soul-body relationship in today's wired culture. The story follows a young woman who rips her soul from her body to pursue her destiny in the city. Her journey is depicted in a highly choreographed work unfolding live onstage through film, dance theater, video and foley sound. International artists unite with geeks and historians to construct a multi-channel film onstage that surveys the impact of distance and electronic communication on modern life, love, and family.
