Part
walking tour, part performance, part
guided meditation through the beautiful and richly historical
Green-Wood Cemetery, Angels and Accordions is produced annually by
Dance Theatre Etcetera.
Angels
and Accordions takes thousands of
visitors through Green-Wood's beautiful rolling hills and inside its
otherwise-closed-and-locked mausoleums. Along the
way they are confronted by images of "Angels" in stirring tableaux
vivant in dialogue with the natural landscape and statuary of the
cemetery. A number of largescale choregraphed
movement pieces punctuate the performance, accompanied throughout by a
chorus
of accordions, as visitors explore the permanent resting ground of
notables from Leonard Bernstein to Jean-Michel Basquiat to Boss Tweed.
Carving
a space for reflection in a busy
city, Angels and Accordions is a truly unique performance event in the
New York City landscape.

Angels
& Accordions 2009 saw two more beautiful
installments of this unique piece. Be on the lookout for a short
film documenting 2009's performances, coming soon from videographer
Towhid Hossain, who was once a student with DTE's programs at the
Brooklyn International High School. In the meantime check out
these pictures from DTE General Manager Liz Schuster:
And, in
part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural
Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
