Expert Witness eclipses narrative but invites you into a world with a sense of intrigue, mystery, and memory. With movement structures borrowed from probability theories, social psychology, and the legal system, Kloppenberg plays with perception, revealing incomplete information, the act of bearing witness to and recreating events, and how unrelated occurrences becoming linked in the memory of an event. The act of decoding, or solving, is passed over to you, the audience.
The development of Expert Witness was supported by residencies at DTW Outer/Space; Boston Center for the Arts, and Colby College. The full piece premiered at Colby College on April 15 & 16, 2011, and a 9 minute quartet version is now in working repertory.
