Category: Messenger of Death

Sarah and David

This lost pop-princess is hurt. Jealousy has turned her into a criminal. In this video Clytemnestra (Nastia) anticipates murdering her husband. Love kills…

Daniel has a secret. Things haven’t changed from the days of the Greek Legend Clyemnestra, drama, deception, jealousy and murder are still everywhere and this popular star has a role to play in these sinful games. No more Trojan Horses needed, in this age of technology, Daniel has a different kind of wireless communication as the Messenger of Death.

the female dancer (Blakeley White-McGuire) is playing the part of Cassandra, a prophetess who sees visions of evil. she warns the people that the king is being murdered.

the male dancer (Kerville Jack) plays the part of the Messenger of Death, which is not a specific character from Greek Drama but was created by Martha Graham to create an atmosphere of foreboding and inevitability. this abstract figure can represent many things: Fate, Fear, Guilt, Inevitability, Karma, etc. in this solo, the Messenger of Death sets the tone for Grahams telling of the Agamemnon saga in Clytemnestra.

a symbolic metaphor was established between the characters and our planet’s many warnings of the serious and eventual irreversible consequences of climate change.
