Cry You One Documentary

This is a short I filmed and edited with other members of Mondo Bizarro and ArtSpot Productions to document our “environmental odyssey,” Cry You One. The issues explored in this production over seven years ago are still alive and affecting us today. The documentary highlights the content of the performance, how and why it was made, and the role art can play in activism.

From Mondo Bizarro’s website:

Cry You One is an interdisciplinary project of the New Orleans-based companies ArtSpot Productions and Mondo Bizarro that uses the stories, music, dances and traditions of Southeast Louisiana to respond to our region’s interconnected struggles against coastal land loss, cultural loss, environmental racism and displacement.  It is a site-responsive performance and an online storytelling experience/platform that gives physical, oral and musical shape to the themes of our home: converging cultures, creativity in all its forms, human error, forced evacuation, living with water and the desire for permanence.
