David Parsons starts off 2009 with his first full-length piece, a yet-unnamed collaboration with the Grammy-nominated East Village Opera Company. Vocalists AnneMarie Milazzo and Tyley Ross join the 11-member troupe in a multimedia work that incorporates EVOC's signature re-arrangements of opera arias into a plot. Both of these innovative, audience-friendly companies have the makings of great artistic union — and the possibilities of mixing operatic hijinx with Parsons' trademark sense of humor are endless. A highlight: Parsons' signature solo Caught on Program B, where the dancer (either male or female) defies relentless strobe-lighting and sound cues provided on tape by Robert Fripp.
