San Francisco based Zaccho Dance Theatre is currently showing a project, Sailing Away, on Market St between Powell and Battery, from Oct 7 to 10, 2010. The project reenact a painful page in San Francisco history. (Quote from the free newspaper distributed during the show) In 1858, hundreds of African Americans migrated from the “free state” of California where they faced discrimination, to British Columbia, Canada, for new life and opportunities.
Several of my friends are dancing/acting in this performance. Market St has changed a lot over the one and half centuries. And people walking on the street has changed too. This fabulous site-specific performance pull the viewers right back to 150 years ago. To see more photos from this project, go to my facebook album:
