the rest of the world (performance poetry - full length)

Available for the first time in its original length, Cassandra Tribe's visionary response to 9/11. Against a background of response tapes from FDNY on 9/11 and quotes concerning the nature of War, the short performance film, "the Rest of the World,"(2008) will bring goosebumps to your skin as artist Cassandra Tribe challenges viewers to change the story that will be told.

Using a mix of music, spoken word and effects, "The Rest of the World" sees Tribe's characters and ideas fully developed and presented. The video opens with a quote from Barbara Bush backed by the response tapes from FDNY on 9/11 that can only lead to a new definition of evil. Tribe then moves into a performance of "Quiet My Soul," a depiction of the God of War, that displays her formidable stage presence. On the last word from War, a simple "please," the video rises into the harsh, trance backed performance of the title piece "the Rest of the World." (Vagner Revol, Poet Tree Magazine, 2008)
