M1 Fringe Festival 2006
"Heal The Rift Between Us" by Juliana Yasin and Natasha Wei
This performance is scripted in a way that both
artists in due course meet together with their differing personalities, faith,
and art language on the same canvas. In this constructed time and space, both
artists begin on their own areas and react in their own ways. Where the artists
are engaged in this obsessive performance, both women artists exhaust themselves
physically to find the meaning of healing in their lives and we look with
expectancy how these two artists respond to each other, when differences are
brazened out, to bridge the rift between them as unique individuals.
This performance need not resemble the rainbow in its transitory beauty, but is
settled and abiding at the end of the day when we experience the healing from
the visual images as audience ourselves. It will not merely be a writing upon
the sand, but an inscription upon the rock as the artists’ faith is not a
baseless fabric of a vision, but built on material with solidity.Even as the
artists depart from the performance, returning home, they take with them the
healing that is established in their spirit, with the hope that the audience
will take away something of importance too.
