Cleveland Cinematheque streams Bill T. Jones documentary through August 26
The Cleveland Cinematheque Virtual Cinema has extended the streaming of the documentary “Can You Bring It: Bill T. Jones and D-Man in the Waters” through at least Thursday, August 26. Using interviews and archival material, this documentary traces the history and legacy of one of the most important works of art to come out of the age of AIDS: renowned choreographer Bill T. Jones' 1989 tour de force ballet "D-Man in the Waters." This 1989 work gave physical expression to the fear, anger, grief, and hope for salvation felt by the emerging Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company as they were embattled by the AIDS pandemic. In the film, a group of young dancers reconstruct the dance, learning about this oft-forgotten history and deepening their understanding of the power of art in a time of plague. The streaming fee of $12 gives the viewer five days to watch the film.
