Lenore Malen CIRCE (USA, 31 minutes, digital)
Circe — A live performance, a comedy and improbably spectacle on the streets of Genoa. Shapeshifting Circe meets three Genovese men at The Port. They dérive through the city reading aloud at first from a screenplay by Gary Indiana on dislocation, lost objects, unfamiliar places and then from The Odyssey, Book 10.They encounter scrawled on a wall: Siamo Tutti Fuoriluogo “We are all out of place,”a stark reference to a Genovese migrant community and the crisis of global dislocation. Endlessly astray, farcically confused with a puzzling map they rehearse for the play, Circe, eventually ending up on a mountaintop re-enacting the final scene of animal liberation.
