SHOW ME WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SEE / a collaborative short film, dance performance, + site-specific art installation by a collective of multidisciplinary creatives from Philadelphia. Inspired by the 2015 Fringe Festival performance Sit Down. Stand Up. created by dancers Jessica Noel + Leslie Davidson, SMWYWMTS expands on their performance by intimately exploring all the peculiar stages of love, from its dawning, to it’s dimming, to its inevitable darkness through dance, film, fiber art, poetry, + an original score. Silk Graffiti street artist Aubrie Costello adorns the interior of a South Philly apartment with layers of silken words, setting the scene for a story about the complexities + nuances of love, loss, + human connection. Filmmaker Lendl Tellington pieces together two stories- that of Davidson + Noel, + that of Fatima Adamu. The film follows Davidson + Noel from the height of their passion, through the building of their bond, to the unraveling of their love story + the intensity of their fall, + examines the mystery of what remains after all the dust settles. Adamu’s story of a love lost is portrayed through the individual lens. We move with her as she encounters the dynamic journey of inward reflection while mourning a private loss in solitude. The silk messages throughout feature lines from a late-night freewrite by Aubrie Costello + Victoria Prizzia, who pulled together personal accounts + histories of heartbreak, reflection, + healing from their old journals. The film unfolds to a soundtrack by music producer Josh Hey. An intimate performance + art exhibition will accompany the film screening during the 2017 Philadelphia Fringe Festival. 2 nights only / Friday September 22nd + Saturday September 23rd 8pm – 10pm / Music by Josh Hey / Libations served. #ShowMeWhatYouWantMeToSee #SMWYWMTS @showmewhatyouwantmetosee
