This version of DAGGER (a performance based loosely on Shakespeare’s Macbeth) takes over the abandoned bank space at 15 Nassau, bringing the outside in and incorporating the raw empty space into the performance. Watchers become watched, and the traveling viewers are kept on their toes by video ghosts and an eerie soundtrack. In a rich atmosphere of menace and the seductions of authority, Clarinda Mac Low gets up close and personal with the audience in person and on screen, spinning out an intimate multimedia spectacle that seeks to reveal the states of being that lie behind the various masks of physical and temporal power.
