Description

Gentle Rain, from It is SHE Who I See

“Gentle Rain” is the third of five movements from Craig Harris’ Suite for Cello and Piano, incorporated into Harris’ show It is SHE Who I See, an immersive multimedia performance that celebrates the original woman who is in all of us.

In It is SHE Who I See Harris’ Suite for Cello and Piano serves as a set of pieces designed to reflect the essence of female energy, and the exploration of “SHE-ness” in the body of a male person. Paul Herwig performed the role, illustrating the trajectory from confinement to freedom throughout the show.

The production It is SHE Who I See includes live and recorded music in a multi-dimensional soundspace, imagery and pre-taped performance projected onto a stage hung with translucent scrims, lighting design, and movement performed by a male theater artist.
