About The Grand Parade

The Grand Parade, an original, multi-disciplinary piece of theatre, is the first creation in the company’s multi-year performance cycle which takes inspiration from Marc Chagall’s visionary art, life and the times. The Grand Parade is being conceived and directed by Stacy Klein, co-created by the DE ensemble, composed by Alexander Bakshi (Russia), and realized with collaborative team of artists from the US, Argentina, and Russia.

 

The American Century
Imagined Through the Lens of Chagall

Our distinct imagining of the American Century is being conceived through the lens of Chagall, whose life spanned 1887-1985. Our imaginative, kaleidoscopic mash-up of the century summons the artist’s sensibilities and personal memories. Through this perspective (with relation to Russia), we are exploring how the epic events and iconic characters of this time inform the realities in which we now live.
