Put Away the Fire, dear pt.2 is Kayla Farrish’s newest evening-length work in development originating with the question of how live performance can be transformed into film. The work is a lens into American cinema from the 1930s to1960s, focusing on thriller, film noir, romance, and musical. The range of epic to intimate and into meaning pulls through the characters, space, and narratives alongside the exploration of music scores—jazz, symphony, voice, cinematic scores, contemporary sounds, and their distortion. In this second iteration and development of the work, Farrish is discovering more depths of the characters within the work and the blur between film’s structure and experience in live performance. Looking at giving voice, imagery, and life back to BIPOC folks and the marginalized communities, and to offer varying stories for all. The work is performed by Jessica Alexander, James Andrew Barrett, Alexander Diaz, Kayla Farrish, and Erik Osterkil. Music composition: Alex MacKinnon. Music editing: Kayla Farrish.
