The Italian experimental theater company Dewey Dell presented "à elle vide," Sept. 9 and 10 in the Patricelli '92 Theater. Named after a character in William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying," the group was formed in 2007 by Teodora, Demetrio and Agata Castellucci, along with Eugenio Resta. Their two-week residency at Wesleyan included the American debut performances of "à elle vide" and "Cinquanta Urlanti Quaranta Ruggenti Sessanta Stridenti" (not pictured).
Dewey Dell's 25-minute work focused on the creation of a void between two characters, the red Rooster and the white Scorpion.Dewey Dell's residency was presented by the Theater Department and the Center for the Arts. It was made possible by a grant from the Catharine and Thomas McMahon Fund with additional support from the Dance Department. (Photos by Bill Tyner '13)
