Permanent Madness

San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles

November 3, 2006

Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

This piece is a reinterpretation of the 12th century Iranian love story of Layla and Majnun, in which the lovers are driven insane by their longing. This classic tale has impacted the Eastern audience as Romeo and Juliet had impacted the Western audience. This interpretive performance will showcase historically-based Iranian garments and backdrop created by Shenasa, symbolic props, along with interactive storytelling with the audience. Also featured in the performance is Oakland-based performance poet Roham Shaikhani, and writer Azin Arefi.

    These aren't quilts as in bedcovers, these are quilts as in art pieces that hang on the wall. They are in all sizes and shapes and are really paintings made of fabric. A must-see.

    This museum is a well-kept secret. Virginia Davis's work is amazing -- they are like paintings, but executed in the weaving itself. The other exhibits there are also remarkable. Check out Katherine Westerhout's fabulous photos-turned-tapestries. These shows close soon, so check it out. Collapse
