"Quilt - A Musical Celebration" Designed by Dana Pinto
"Quilt - A Musical Celebration"
Lyrics: Jim Morgan - Music: Michael Stockler - Director: Ian Good
Mountview Conservatoire at Mountview Theatre, London/1997
DESIGNED BY DANA PINTO

A compelling study of stories about the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. The performance was facilitated by the creation of trucks designed to represent the walls of attitudes towards AIDS. It is a fragile space manipulated by love and hate. Scene by scene the stage becomes filled with patches until eventually the set becomes the whole quilt. The effect is like a photomosaic where each patch has meaning, but as we step back we see that it creates ' one voice'.
