BLUE LIVE, interpreted by Miami-based tanztheater artist Octavio Campos, delves into the dark and sexually puzzling world of filmmaker Derek Jarman. The film, Blue, exposes Jarman's physical and spiritual state in a narration about his life, his struggle with AIDS and his encroaching blindness. In a lush soundscape by Brian Eno, pulsing against a purely blue screen, Campos reacts to the film in his own interdisciplinary style using objects and puppetry to comment and respond to Jarman's reality. BLUE LIVE is poignant, revealing, poetic and a philosophically challenging work of live tanztheater with experimental cinema.

Special thanks to Zeitgeist Films,The piece Blue LIVE was originally commissioned by the Miami Beach Cinemateque, Dana Keith, Miami International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, Carol Coombes, Florida International University, Miami Dade Cultural Affairs Council and Camposition.
