There is very little to say about the initial reaction to the poster art for Dying Hard by Dahlia Katz except that it grabs the eye and doesn't let go. After the initial shock - the head trying to decipher what is happening (and this remaining a mystery to be revealed by the play itself) - you note the icy blue-green eyes, the left with flecks of blood in it. You notice, too, the red rims of those eyes and how - despite the theme of death this all represents - that this face is vigourously alive. Indeed, Ms Katz - as with much of her work - has created a stand-alone photo of - may we suggest - survival?
[Each of our principal sites - CharPo-Montreal and CharPo-Toronto - will be presenting their photo of the year today. Tomorrow we will be presenting THE photo of the year for all sites.]
