 $20 General, $18 VPES - advance reservations highly recommended

NOTE: As of January 9th, this event is sold out for both evenings. No further tickets will be available.

The Velaslavasay Panorama presents two evenings of Magic LanternPerformances and 16mm Films by Charlotte Pryce, including the Los Angeles premiere of her latest Magic Lantern Performance The Tears of a Mudlark (2018). 

Charlotte Pryce explores proto-cinematic structures of the real and the imagined to create illuminations that hover on the periphery of vision and delight in catoptric playfulness and paradox. The program includes ten films made between 2004-2018, and two Magic Lantern Performances - The Tears of a Mudlark (2018) and W.H.Hudson’s Remarkable Argentine Ornithology (2013). 

This is pre-cinema at a time when we are moving beyond film. The only kind of video audio performance that it can be maybe compared with is the dusk-to-dawn Indonesian shadow puppet theater performances of gamelon orchestras. But what Pryce creates is something personal, miniature, like something you can hold in your hands. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen in my life. -- Robert Koehlerl (critic/curator)
