Performance: Holly Harrell & Bryan Morello

"A Time Off Their Lives"

The Time Off Their Life, a new performance by Holly Harrell and Bryan Morello, begins with a mourning figure, a rocking chair made from memory, and an incomplete snowman on a mobile stage. A ghost story told through multiple accounts, by multiple ambassadors of grief, shifting perceptions of the truth until reality dissipates. Moving through a dreamlike sequence of introductions, possessions and reenactments, their stories unfold through a shifting tableaux of domestic hauntings and collapsing memory. Blurring the lines between performer and spectator, actuality and apparition, until all are gathered at Christmas dinner to discuss what just happened, as if waking from the same dream.

Hosted at Charlotte Call Gallery, a new art space in Melrose Hill, Los Angeles.
