CASSANDRA 2000
(Based on a web collaboration of Dinu Ghezzo, John Gilbert, Lisa Naugle and Alistair Martin-Smith)

Cassandra 2000 is an evolving multimedia work that has involved composition, improvisation and performances for the past four years, including Internet collaborations. The Cassandra Project has brought together musicians, dancers, actors, painters, poets, video/web artists and composers exploring the presence of Cassandra Past, Present, and Future.

This website invites meditation, reflection, inner combustion, creation, participation and collaboration.

Cassandra 2000 is simultaneously ancient and modern, a figure in metamorphosis. Cassandra continues to grow, to change, and yet she remains anchored to the past. She forges a link with hisory and mythology and turns our gaze toward events yet to happen. Looking backward we also look within ourselves, for the past is our spiritual DNA...the substance of our existence. Cassandra seems to be the essence of time, both timeless and racing ahead of the curvature of time and space. Cassandra looks within herself and within humanity to discover the embryo of the cosmos and the fabric of the future.
