Overview

"Caddy! Caddy! Caddy!" is an epic dance work, with a live sound score and evolving, dynamic installation. An abstract portrayal of Faulkner's novels "The Sound and the Fury", "Absalom, Absalom!", and the story "A Rose for Emily", it was an unforgettable live experience. Utilising simultaneous, disparate and distinct intimate passages, the dance portrays a sense of confinement, entrapment, sadness, loneliness and courage and finally expands with a breathtaking finale in which the stage becomes the nexus for hundreds of threads of lighted colour reaching out into space. A simple play of light can become a medium for a face dancing the ravages of unforgiving time. Darkness illuminates the rhythm of the telling with speaking, sobbing and laughter. Faulkner's stories unfold, without foregrounding cause and effect, through many different voices interweaving in a choral fashion, forming a nonlinear composite - a rich blur of life. Evoking subtle essences, with this reckoning of time, Oguri presented "Caddy! Caddy! Caddy!".
