Love and hate, gentle and bold, war and peace, pensive and exult, the complexity and contradiction of Chinese Opera brings out not only the color of performance but the beauty of real life. Many of the operas are based on historical as well as Chinese Mythology and fictional stories.
By Lucy WalkerWaste Land follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world's largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic band of "catadores" -- or self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. Muniz's initial objective was to "paint" the catadores with garbage. However, his collaboration with these inspiring characters as they recreate photographic images of themselves out of trash reveals both their dignity and despair as they begin to re-imagine their lives.
