The Blue Cape of Cinema in California, October 2004

The Blue Cape of Cinema is an ephemeral monument inhabited by 12 persons
the time of each performance. Each action consists of a march parade
in a city and a place of a designated country.
During the processing of the parade, the inhabitants of the Cape will change masks and identities.



The cape was next to be invited to the land of cinema, California,
by the Robert Berman Gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, October 13 at 7pm.
Bergamot Station is the ideal location for the cape’s procession: this former trolley station
still has a large oval driveway that runs alongside old industrial buildings which have been transformed into thirty Los Angeles art galleries and a museum, The Santa Monica Museum of Art.
That immense driveway serves as a track for the cape, which evolves accompanied by its music and its dancers carrying masks. This nightime performance was choreographed by Delane Vaughn.
