DESCRIPTION:With filmmaker and choreographer Gabri Christa in person. Follo
 wed by a reception sponsored by the Consulate General of the Kingdom of th
 e Netherlands \n\n	Part of the series Changing the Picture\, sponsored by 
 Time Warner Inc. \n\n\n	\n		Choreographer and filmmaker Gabri Christa’s sh
 ort films connect the relationship of historic buildings and sites to thei
 r environment\, and reflect upon the people and cultures that inhabit them
 . Each film—Quarantine (2007\, 10 mins.)\, Savoneta (2008\, 14 mins.)\, an
 d Kasita (2014\, 21 mins.)—sheds a different light on Dutch history throug
 h dance\, text\, music\, and movement. Filmed on the Dutch Caribbean islan
 ds of Curaçao and Bonaire\, they tell stories of the Dutch African diaspor
 a\, from a time when Peter Stuyvesant was governor of both New Amsterdam a
 nd the Dutch Caribbean. \n	\n	\n		Quarantine is set in a former quarantine
  building for enslaved Africans. Savoneta is set mostly around the oldest 
 plantation house (1653) on Curaçao. A couple attempts to enter the buildin
 g\, but the man performer has flashbacks of his ancestors that were once e
 nslaved at the plantation. The film combines documentary pictures of the a
 ctual enslaved\, and dance. In Kasita\, when a young girl can’t keep the d
 og she just found\, she knows just where to house it\, but things do not g
 o as planned. \n	\n	\n		Choreographer and Filmmaker Gabri Christa was born
  and raised in Curaçao\, Dutch Caribbean. She came to filmmaking after a s
 uccessful career as a choreographer and dancer. She choreographed and danc
 ed with companies such as Danza Contemporanea de Cuba (Cuba) and the Bill 
 T. Jones Dance Company (United States). \n		\n	\n	\n		Tickets: $12 ($9 sen
