The Americans
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
PETE meets an American idea in movement, stand-up and jazz forms. Working site specifically in the Historic Alberta House, PETE dances with American realness in high contrast image, sound and video.
We look back to the silent generation and the counterculture of 1959 to better understand our present moment. Anchored by the photographs of Robert Frank in his seminal work, “The Americans”, PETE engages a diverse team of artists to steal from the past, drag it out and dust it off in order to see ourselves anew.
