    To mark the opening of Live Cinema/Histories in Motion, Martha Colburn creates a visual performance using film screenings, single channel video and handmade projection effects to the music of cellist Helena Espvall, pianist Thollem McDonas, and the band Tsigoti. Colburn is a stop-action animator whose work is inspired by American and European history. Fusing her animation and found footage into live 16mm performances, she performs internationally with the group Deerhoof and her own ensemble of musicians to create narratives using 1970s film re-enactments, pilgrim films, puppet films, and re-filmed Godzilla movies, to name but a few. Multi-instrumentalist Espvall plays cello with several ensembles, most notably the Philadelphia-based psych-folk group Espers. McDonas is critically acclaimed as one of the most interesting pianists of the current improvised music genre who has redefined the concept of piano performance. Tsigoti is a collaborative and improvisational quasi-punk band combining revolutionary politics and intelligent avant-punk fervor.
