CHRISTINE ELSEY szys modem man has Jost sense of the sacred.

. That’s the message she and Metropolis Dance delivered to the Stein
Valley Voices for the Wilderness Festival this month.

The art of
social change

FRITZ LANG'S classic sci-fi film Metropolis had a profound
effect on Christine Elsey, one that she would constantly
relive in her mind.

A spectacle of the year 2,000,
Lang’s dark portrayal of social
confiict and urban alienation was
a shocking reminder to Elsey of
how industrialization is raping

work inspired by a Stein Valley
spirit cave, Elsey and dancer

the modern world seek refuge in a
cave where they gain deeper
knowledge of themselves.

- In another newer work, tnner
City, Elsey expands on the themes
presented in The Cave.

The story takes place at an ex-
cavation site in the middle of a
buzzing city. Two aging street
women loitering around the site
experience all of life’s struggles —
joy, pain and despair.

“t's life stripped down to its
elements,” explains Elsey.
“There's no padding at that
level.”
