This weekend in the arts: Carolina Caycedo at ICA San Diego North; Broadway's 'The Lion King'; Tchaikovsky at The Shell; Gideon Sawyer and beck haberstroh at ICA San Diego Central; David White's Park Social project; and 'Sunblock 5000' at Oolong Gallery.
"When you understand that this was commissioned to really showcase Russian imperialism and aggression and that it is the canons of war, it feels to us highly inappropriate to perform it this year under the certain circumstances — when this unprovoked war in Ukraine is literally decimating that country, and people are fighting for their lives. It did not seem that it is appropriate for us," said San Diego Symphony CEO Martha Gilmer.
Instead, they'll add"The Tempest Fantasy Overture, Op. 18," Tchaikovsky's moody and pensive tone poem that was inspired by Shakespeare's play. Also on the program are Tchaikovsky's"Francesca da Rimini," and selections from"Eugene Onegin, as well as Rimsky-Kosakov's"Russian Easter Overture." The concert will also feature live narration of the classic literature that inspired these works, from San Diego-based actors Jesse Perez and Shana Wride.NextGen Performance: Gideon Sawyer and beck haberstrohGraduating artists from UC San Diego's visual arts program have their work on view at ICA's central Balboa Park campus, now through Sept. 4. This Saturday afternoon, two of the works will be"activated" with performance, movement and interactions with the pieces.
Gideon Sawyer's work, his"skins," are textile sculptures made from clothing, built to resemble bodies and limbs, though representing a sense of struggle and restriction. The performance speaks to the process of finding freedom from such restrictions."You took my impression without ever touching me" by beck haberstroh is shown in an undated photo.
Another work,"You took my impression without ever touching me" by beck haberstroh, is a massive, hanging, light-up textile work that features"impressions" of multiple faces. The work features a 15 minute performance.
