Mignolo Dance presents Virtual Performance of "Visitor Parking" on January 30th

mise en abyme by Charly Santagado will be presented at the New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, January 28th (available all day from 12:00am on for a virtual screening.) What happens when the muse of our daydreams is displaced by egoism parading as a deep exploration of identity? In mise en abyme, the “artist” is consumed with herself and gradually neglects her muse. As the room around her becomes increasingly ornate, the artist is more and more consumed by her “work”, which is merely a simultaneously idealized and dumbed down projection of herself. All the while, the muse’s frustration at the emptiness of the whole endeavor swells. 2021; 5 min. Click here for more information.
