The Seven Deadly Sins
[& the Seven Heavenly Virtues]
[& the Seven Heavenly Virtues]
This unique exhibit moves into the Sheffer Recital Hall of The John G. Shedd Institute Feb. 22 & 23. The exhibit is made in collaboration with singer Siri Vik and company’s performances of Weill and Brecht’s “The Seven Deadly Sins of the Petty Bourgeoisie” [original 1933 version].
The Shedd Institute will host an “art opening” with a cash bar prior to Vik’s first performance beginning Feb. 22, 6:00-7:20 pm, prior to the first performance. The art exhibition will continue to be open for sales during intermissions, and before and after each program on Feb. 22 and 23.
This event will be a uniquely cooperative blending of art, music, theater, and dance, with a subject as relevant to today’s lifestyles and politics as it was when the list of seven deadly sins first appeared in the 4th century. All 7 sins represent patterns of dysfunction within us that eventually lead to unhappiness or worse.
From Joseph Lieberman, the artist directing this special exhibit:
“Rather than being some anachronistic relic, I see the Seven Deadly Sins as a contemporary wake-up call relating to how individual choices, extremism in society, overconsumption, and the seductions of unrestricted excess can move us toward pathways of self-indulgent destruction, for ourselves and others. The Sins were not meant to be top-down commands that must be obeyed, but rather as guides to self-enlightenment through self-restraint. To balance the exhibit, we’re also showing interpretations of The Seven Heavenly Virtues.”
