The Mars Volta have detailed another new single, ‘Graveyard Love’, as well as an extension of their US tour.The announcement follows the release of their first new music in ten years with ‘Blacklight Shine’, shared last month (June 21).The Texas-formed band released six studio albums between 2003 and 2012 before splitting due to a falling-out between founding members Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodríguez-López.The pair quickly made amends, however, and formed a new group, Antemasque. They also revamped their pre-Mars Volta outfit, At-the-Drive-In, for a new record in 2017.“They will seek your ruin, and burn your lands, because if they can’t have you, no one can,” Cedric Bixler-Zavala offered as a cryptic description of ‘Graveyard Love’, which will be released on Friday (July 8) alongside a new short film.The Mars Volta previewed ‘Blacklight Shine’ by setting up a mysterious box installation in Los Angeles’ Grand Park, which plays new material from the band when you walk inside.Last month, an audio-visual art installation was also erected in Los Angeles’ Grand Park, titled ‘L’YTOME HODORXÍ TELESTERION’, where they previewed ‘Blacklight Shine’.
January LaVoy Conjures 26 Personalities in ‘Fires in the Mirror’
26.06.2022 - 22:43 / metroweekly.com
Fires in the Mirror, in which LaVoy personifies 26 characters, a diverse mix of residents in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights.LaVoy performs 29 distinct monologues, all drawn from interviews playwright Anna Deavere Smith conducted in 1991. The documentary play is a tour-de-force solo turn for LaVoy, an Atlanta-based performer best known for playing Noelle Ortiz-Stubbs on ABC’s One Life to Live.“I’ve run a few marathons,” LaVoy says, “and I think of this show as a 90-minute race.”It is an impressive feat of endurance and deftness, especially given how quickly and seamlessly LaVoy shifts from character to character, with only the slightest of changes in costume or appearance or lighting.Theatergoers can take away any number of insights about Black/Jewish relations from the show, but LaVoy suggests seeing Fires in the Mirror for another reason, as well.“I don’t think we are very good at listening right now,” LaVoy says.
“You hear a lot of people, in a lot of different contexts, say, ‘How will we ever move forward?’ I think that part of the moving forward has to be in the listening…. We cannot get there if we don’t listen.“I like to say that this experience as an audience member is an exercise in listening for 90 minutes to 27 different people.
And when was the last time you remember doing anything like that?”Fires in the Mirror runs through July 3, in-person at the Edlavitch DCJCC, 1529 16th St. NW., or as a one-day virtual stream.
