Rise and Fall of Timur the Lame, The (2002)
Production
The piece took place in several locations within La MaMa's Annex Theater, but centralized in a gigantic five-sided, sixty foot shadow screen that surrounds the audience in a kind of "Sensurround in shadow puppets," where this vigorous, super-active, physical story was presented in an experience of enveloping light, shadow and sound.
The core of the show is a rendering of Christopher Marlowe's Tamburlaine in multi colored large scale shadow puppets, but its apex is a solo dance on Bhagavad Gita by Sanjeeva Poojary, one of south India's most renowned traditional dancers. Composer David First performed his original score live in the production.
