Vision -
true vision - to look with eyes that can see beneath the surface
of the normal world and then to articulate what we see and then
create a piece of theatre or art or film that enables us to share
our view of the world with our fellow citizens - this is the
nature, in our opinion, of true art - this is the nature of Yellow
House. Also,
to share our joy, passion and suffering with others to find a
place in the world where we can begin the process of healing. This
is
Yellow House.
One of our major projects for 2004 is the
story of Dante and Beatrice - a story of love.Inspired by Henry
Holliday's painting in
Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery, the young people of Yellow House
are making a full length film of The Divine Comedy set in contemporary
Liverpool.
The film will be made in agreement with Yellow House's manifesto
- no script, no acting, filming and editing by the young people
themselves.
The pictures shown in the Dante and Beatrice Gallery
here represent scenes from "Purgatory", where the modern day Dante,
encounters
local artists - Mohammad Kahil, Levi Tafari, Bisarka Sharka, Dinesh
Alirajah and George Mc Kane - all of whom believe deeply in their
own work, have a passion and a personal vison of what art should
be and due to this "suffer" in todays cultural climate.
The young
people of Yellow House working under the Direction of Gosia Mc
Kane, assisted by
George, have conceived and devised the whole project, will play
the roles in the film, will film and edit the story.
The full lenght film will be premiered in Autumn 2004 - keep in
touch for more details - and this Gallery will be updated on a
regular basis.
Yellow House would like to thank Dante and Beatrice,
The Pre - Raphaelite Brotherhood, Vincent van Gogh, Primo Levi,
Ma Joad, Artaud
and Grotowski, Peter Brook, Massachio, Ghandi for their continuing
inspiration - George and Gosia would like to thank the young people
for their
honesty, truth and bravery - this is a brave project - we are cultural
visionaries.
Dante and Beatrice is a Yellow House Project - supported
by National Museums Liverpool and Liverpool Culture Company (with
ERDF support).
Life is not simple -the truth is not simple - great art is not
simple.
