(as daily transportation and symbol of self-reliance)
(as empowered activist and cultural rebel)
This full-length multimedia work features the innovative use of poetry, lyrical dialogue, freestyle and choreographed bicycling, video sequences, and a turntablist.
ESA, the main character in She: Bike/Spoke/Love, is a young woman in her early 20s who loves her bicycle because it allows her to: explore her deepest musings
and yearnings; escape the pressures of family and other figures of authority; and discover her own true path.
As ESA agitates against her mother, she begins to assert a strong ethic of self-empowerment. But the mother, flung into a morass of self-doubt and internal
scrutiny, eventually delivers herself from her own restrictive thinking and joins her impassioned bicycling daughter in a last-minute attempt towards
inter-generational understanding.
And then there's the boyfriend... |
