Ira Lippke was there to capture the performance in both photo and video, creating a lasting documentation that is a work of art in itself. “The sound of cicadas, the breathing of the dancers and the tapping of their feet served as a soundtrack,” he says of the experience. “Even the fireflies offered a corresponding choreography of their own.”
Ira, who lives just down the road from Lia and Isabella in the small Long Island enclave of Brookhaven Hamlet, finds a unique, creative camaraderie there. “There’s an amazing community here comprised of artists, writers, performers, actors and gallerists,” he says. “I find it really inspiring to live and work with such brilliant people.”
