Fire in the Head, a special theatrical production by Christopher Myers, will have its world premiere this week as part of the FIAF 2022 Crossing the Line Festival. Fire in the Head salutes the tortured genius of Vaslav Nijinsky, who, like many artists today, grappled with the confluence between global and personal crises. Myers, in concert with Sifiso Mabena, Marcella Murray, Ashley Winkfield, Ismail Lawal, and others will bring to life the famous diaries of this path breaking dancer and choreographer through original shadow puppets he designed and made in collaboration with master craftsmen in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. . There will be performances on Thursday, September 29 and Friday, September 30 at the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association at 62 Mott Street.
