"Stories from the Dust in the Corner," a multi-media dance drama by Laurie Marshall, will be performed three times in April —- at 7:30 p.m. on the 14th and 15th in the Rappahannock County High School Auditorium and at 2 p.m. on the 23rd in the main house of the Airlie Conference Center as part of their larth Day celebration.
The Airlie performance will be a benefit for the Bosnian Relief Mission, a Warrenton based organization that brings medical supplies to the beseiged country of Bosnia.
The hour long play is based on the concept that the human spirit is as renewable as the consistently reappearing dust in the corner. It is structured around the lives of three women. Mythili Nakkiran of India; the author's mother. Alice Marshall of Pennsy lvania and Amira Skaljic. a Moslem woman from Bosnia.
Interwoven with their stories are songs, poems and images that humorously explore our relationship to dust and celebrate our common journey from birth to death.
Slides of Ms. Marshall’s portraits, landscapes, dreamscapes and religious imagery are part of the performance. Brooms are used metaphorically — to sweep the dust, to honor the dead, to rejoice in the liv ing; to fight, to fly and to dance. The audience will be invited to share their stories of renewal after each performance.
