lifeDUET: Lasterday
With the Kaeja’s newest lifeDUET, Lasterday, we explore how two individuals carry different memories and perceptions of the same events from their shared past. This concept delves into various aspects of their relationship, including their sense of timeline, emotional impacts, and interactions throughout their life journey, all through the lens of how they remember and interpret their shared history.
Karen and Allen Kaeja have recently toured for 3 weeks in British Columbia with a BCMAS New Creation Residency and performances of their lifeDUETs - Lasterday and 25 to 1, plus In Case of Fire community integrated work, in PORT MCNEILL, SOINTULA, and 'NAMGIS NATION/ALERT BAY. They also performed Lasterday at Dancing on the Edge (DOTE).
The lifeDUETs BC Tour is initiated by BCMAS (BC Movement Arts Society), and funded by the Ontario Arts Council and Canada Council for the Arts Touring.
Many duets have toured across the world through Canada and to Spain, India, England, Japan, Mexico, Venezuela and Israel. They have been performed since the year 2000. Other past lifeDUETs (besides the lifeDUETs on our website) have also been created by Peter Bingham, Claudia Moore, Marie-Josée Chartier.
