Synopsis

Review

Reviewed by: Jon Kaplan

A double bill of Natasha Greenblatt's We Lived In A Palace and Christine Aubin Khalifah's Ties examines, through movement and storytelling alternately humorous and touching, how death gives meaning to life. Greenblatt's solo show plays with the Garden of Eden myth and growing up, while Khalifah's work about her father -- Greg Gale stands in for him -- makes use of neckties and emotional ties. The two women hold the stage with impressive power.
