(February 3, 2014)- Center
for the Arts, Eagle Rock present a One Night Performance of Dudley Saunders’ IN
THESE BOXES  taking place in a historic
Carnegie Library building which is the home of 
Center for the Arts Eagle Rock  located at 
2225 Colorado Blvd Los Angeles CA 90041 on  Saturday, February 8, 2014 from 8p.m.-9:30p.m.

Dudley Saunders' IN THESE BOXES is an uncommon - and uncanny - mix of
live music, narratives and video art that explores the human need to keep the
dead from disappearing by holding on to their things.  In the piece,
Dudley takes 12 objects left behind by the dead and weaves each of them into a
video hallucination of the missing life.  As he sings their stories at the
front of stage, the world of the vanished comes to life on the screen behind
him.

 

Uniquely there is an online/community component.  There will be an online
space where people can post photos of things once owned by the dead - things
they have inherited and now have trouble letting go of. He conceives of this as
a kind of social-media cemetery that people can visit at any time, and see the
objects that other people can't let go. In each community where he performs,
Dudley has a local call for these photos, and incorporate them into the 12th
video art piece in the performance. In this way, these objects can become part
of a living piece of art, rather than simply moldering alone in people's
closets.

 

Dudley's songs won the Out Music Award for Best Album and his last solo
performance piece was named "Best Musical" by New York Press.
