Have you ever looked into one of Joseph Cornell's boxes and imagined its contents coming to life? Here's your chance. Lauren Parrish makes and lights the box. Jacob Burckhardt imposes video and controls sound. Dancers appear, costumed by Mimi Gross. They're not a group. Individuals wander in with separate agendas, deciding as they go how to pass mythical time. Why aren’t they relating more? Is there strength, will, determination and courage present enough among them to overcome somnolent decadence and activate the scene? Are these people trapped in a make believe world of aesthetic pleasure and beauty, or, however dreamily, are they preparing to go to work to correct the high percentage of human failure?
