SUMMARY:Do Donkeys Act?
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\nSept 23-27 \n“Burned\, beaten\, abandoned\, donkeys look back at us humans with indifference\, and bray.” this documentary– filmed over 5 years––subtly subverts the notion of the “dumb beast” as it captures donkeys communicating emotionally with each other in the midst of healing from human cruelty and neglect. A poetic text threads through scenes “acted” by donkeys\, a rhythmic script commentary voiced by Willem Dafoe. The ethno-poetic-animal-fiction takes its playfully self-reflexive cues from Jean Rouch and Chris Marker. Encouraging us to respect a major language barrier we might not otherwise consider––the mystery and intrigue of donkey utterances––DO DONKEYS ACT invites us to “step into their shade\, listen closely” as we attune to a series of dramatic performances in which we eavesdrop on donkeys speaking amongst themselves. Reclaiming the donkey from the indignity of a centuries old master slave relationship in which the dominant image of the donkey has been negative (stubborn\, buffoon\, jackass\, laborer\, trickster and fool)\, it elevates a denigrated and degraded beast to the role of lead actor and performance artist. To paraphrase Marina Abramovic\, the donkey is present. (David Redmon & Ashley Sabin\, 2017\, Canada/Ireland\, 1:12\, G)
