Apart of the Value of Water Exhibition (read publication)

"Resonant Streams: An Ancient Call" is a site-specific audience-interactive multimedia dance piece featuring a cast of ten dancers, three live musicians and two multimedia artists creating virtual costumes and set with a 5-video stream mapped in the space. Created for the the St. John the Divine Cathedral's The Value of Water series that includes a visual art exhibit, Resonant Streams hopes to provide an experience of ourselves as water, of our interconnectedness to all water everywhere and of our origins in the ancient primordial seas. When we immerse ourselves in water, we are able to release and recreate our form responsively as we connect through resonance to each other, to our ancient roots, to our planet and beyond and to creative potential.

Performing at the The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, New York, NY,

Shifting Gaze, a Video-Art-Music Installation
Closing Region Zero, Latino Video-Art Festival of New York, at the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center at New York University, New York, March 26, 2011
Shifting GAZE is a site specific installation presented for this occasion with 17 canvases and four projectors, Indoor with live visuals and sound.

"Shifting Gaze is about CHOICE, DESIRE and MEMORY. The piece challenges self-expression and invents new forms of desire, breathing life into the medium and navigating on a new notion of choice, linked to desire and memory, choice being the present, memory representing the past and desire, the drive for a future. What we want (desire) is linked or conflicting with what is expected from us (identity, memory), and choice is the act upon which we build ourselves." Laia Cabrera

Stage Manager: Samantha Davis
Actors: Ragini Bhaumik, Margi Douglas, Brady Kirchberg, Markus Hirnigel & Stephanie Schmiderer

THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS is a dark comedy or to quote the playwright a "hypercomedy" about 4 individuals caught up in "Reigen-like" relationships on their very own roads to happiness – in search of success, beauty, meaning, purpose and fulfillment. Erna (Ragini Bhaumik), the career driven Master of Business graduate turned housewife and mother; her friend Brigitte (Margi Douglas), proud owner of a designer store; Andreas (Brady Kirchberg), Erna's boyfriend who loves the outdoors and Reinhardt (Markus Hirnigel) the neoconservative businessman. These four protagonists are accompanied by a narrator (Stephanie Schmiderer) who in the course of the play reveals herself as Magda Quandt unveiling dormant fascist traits in the characters and drawing frightening parallels to ideology of the Third Reich.

In the piece, an aging scientist, realizing his inquiries continually return him to a model of his own mind, devises a set of experiments that blur the distinction between his inner and outer worlds. New Stage Theatre Company (NTSC) made an auspicious La MaMa debut last season with "Oh, Those Beautiful Weimar Girls!," an evening of the music and dance associated with exotic dancer Anita Berber, who symbolized many the decadence of Weimar era Berlin.

Is there an edge of belief (mixed media videoart piece), 2009
Produced and directed by Laia Cabrera
Presented in the 2nd edition of the multidisciplinary festival "Jaen en Femenino", May 29, 2009 in Jaen, Spain

Outdoor installation with gigantic projection on the facade of the theater Infanta Leonor de Jaén, with sound surround system.
“Is There An Edge Of Belief?” explores the relation, uncommonness and ethics of desire-belief-beauty. Where are the limits of our understanding of the emotions, how do we relate to the others and how do we handle the differences? I will combine visual images, movement, music, words and non-linear structures as a perfect juxtaposition of the subject matter and performance style. All objects and images are more than what first meets the eye, just as the visual imaginary evolves into a whole world of humanity.

Until There (video concert performance), 2009
Laia Cabrera with For Feather and Isabelle Duverger
“Until There” starts with images and movement as a visual storytelling, a sensual journey of the imaginary world of the filmmaker and visual artist, Laia Cabrera. Four screens with two video streams will surround you with a unique visual experience of timelessness and human landscape. She uses a variety of media: projected imagery merging cinematic arts, dance, photography, theater, visual arts, writing etc... As a part of the performance, Laia Cabrera will be working with visuals and drawing animation by Isabelle Duverger projected live in conjunction with indie pop/rock For Feather. The band has mastered the art of turning the mundane into the marvelous. Quirky melodies pull rather than push the listener, keeping things light with spacious harmonies evoking the early Beatles.

Singularity (video-performance-installation) 2006
Produced and directed by Laia Cabrera.
Inagurated the International video and Animation Festival in Spain, Lleida 2006.
“Singularity” employs a 3 canvas video installation using the imagery and symbolism from many sources. The piece is about the transitory nature of life and our intent to grasp, capture the instant. In this work, a performer improvises silhouettes on the screens while the video artists play in real time with the visual imaginary. The work permits both the live and video levels to work together—to find a time/moment/space where they meet and merge to become one. The soundtrack has original music and a voice over of two women contrasting feeling and thoughts in order to understand their sense of strangeness with life.
