Abstract: | 'At Twilight: A play for two actors, three musicians, one dancer, eight masks (and a donkey costume)’, by Simon Starling in collaboration with theatre director Graham Eatough, took place on the 26, 27 and 28 August at Holmwood House, a National Trust of Scotland property on the south side of Glasgow. The live performances were the result of a project developed by Katrina Brown with Simon Starling over a 3-year period of research and development. They were accompanied by an exhibition 'At Twilight' at The Common Guild, 2 July-4 September 2016. The exhibition included a collection of material that relates to nine characters, some real, some fictional, all interconnected by Starling. 'At Twilight: A play for two actors, three musicians, one dancer, eight masks (and a donkey costume)’ references ‘At The Hawk’s Well’, a play by W.B. Yeats that was written and performed 100 years ago, in the midst of the First World War, when he was working with the poet Ezra Pound. The performance makes use of masks made in collaboration with Yasuo Miichi and costumes made in collaboration with Kumi Sakurai and Atelier Hinode that form part of the exhibition. It also includes 'The Hawk's Dance' – specially devised by renowned choreographer Javier de Frutos, working with Scottish Ballet and dancer Thomas Edwards – presented on film and accompanied by live music from Chicago-based musician Joshua Abrams and Natural Information Society. | ||||
