Shamel Pitts, a dancer in the Batsheva Dance Company, will be performing Black Box<\/em> at the Tel Aviv Artists’ House (Beit HaOmanim) Gallery on Sunday, July 26, 2015.<\/p>\n

Black Box: Little Black Book of Red<\/em> is a live performance, written, conceived and performed by Shamel Pitts. The title of this work refers to the “black box” used to record everything that happens on a flight, so that in the event of a crash, this documentation will survive to tell the tale. In theatre terms, black box refers to a performance space, usually an empty room with the walls painted black, that can easily be adapted to different kinds of performances. Since almost any space can be converted into a black box theatre, there is an historic affinity between black box and experimental or alternative theatre.<\/p>\n

Pitts developed the texts and arrangement over several years. The first performances took place in his apartment before 30 of his closest friends, on his 30th birthday, with a duration of 30 minutes. Now he is taking this show on the road to the Artists’ House. Each performance will be followed by a gallery gather and discussion of the work.<\/p>\n
