WELCOME Dear Patron:
To outward appearances, combining Arlo Guthrie’s 50th anniversary concert of Alice’s Restaurant and the French-Brazilian dance company, Compagnie Käfig, in the same program book may seem a bit odd. In fact, the two artists are prime examples of the kind of unique program contributions the Barclay has made to the community and the cultural consumer for 25 years now. Recently opened at John Wayne airport is a major exhibition celebrating the Barclay’s upcoming 25th anniversary with a focus on our unique programming specialties: singers and songwriters such as the iconic Arlo Guthrie; contemporary dance like the introduction of Käfig to southern California; the spoken word; flamenco; world music & dance; Hawaiian contemporary music; wideranging musical artists; new circus; and chamber music. We invite you to take a look – the exhibit is located in the pre-security gallery that connects Terminals B and C. Most of all, we hope you will enjoy this evening, whether
it’s rolling back half a century to the anthem of the folk era, or moving forward into the future of dance fusion. Thank you for coming and for supporting Irvine Barclay Theatre.

Correria Agwa
Agwa (2008)
The inspiration for Correria and Agwa was an encounter between Mourad Merzouki and 11 young dancers from Rio de Janeiro at the Lyon Dance Biennial in 2006. The Brazilian dancers had their roots in the favelas (Brazilian shanty towns), and their individual stories struck a profound chord with Merzouki, choreographer of Compagnie Käfig. The dancers were all driven by a passion for dance and a fervent determination to make something of their lives by reaching out to others. The dancers mix hip-hop, capoeira, samba, electronic music and bossa nova to create a dance with amazing acrobatics, bursting with energy and invention.
Choreography Mourad Merzouki
Agwa (water) is all about water, at once a vital component of our bodies, a precious natural resource to be preserved, and a symbol of renewal.
Costume Design Angèle Mignot
Correria (running) plunges us into a frantic, hectic race just like the one that governs our daily lives.

Sincere thanks to Guy Darmet, who made this encounter happen. Compagnie Käfig Compagnie Käfig was created in 1996 by choreographer Mourad Merzouki. A major figure on the hip-hop scene since the early 1990s, Mourad Merzouki works at the junction of many different movement disciplines, fusing circus and martial arts, fine arts, and music with a continuous exploration of all hip-hop styles. He is known for opening up new outlooks in dance, while honoring the hip-hop movement’s roots and its social and geographical origins. Mourad’s first fully independent work, Käfig, was performed at the Rencontres Urbaines de la Villette in Paris. Käfig, which means “cage” in Arabic and German, became the name of the company. It points to the choreographer’s
IRVINE BARCLAY THEATRE | 5
receptivity and openness and his refusal to become locked into a single style. Since 1996, 23 creations have been performed in more than 700 cities. In the past 18 years, Compagnie Käfig has given over 2600 performances in 61 countries for more than 1 million people. The company gives an average of 150 performances a year worldwide. Six shows are currently on tour. Mourad Merzouki
Mourad Merzouki (Artistic Director) was born in Lyon, France in 1973, and started learning martial arts and circus skills at age seven, while attending a circus school in St. Priest, located in Lyon’s eastern suburbs. At 15, he discovered hip-hop and began exploring the world of dance. Merzouki soon decided to further develop this form of street art, while at the same time experimenting with other choreographic styles, particularly with such dance artists as Maryse Delente, Jean-François Duroure and Josef Nadj. With this experiences came the desire to undertake other artistic projects, blending hip-hop with other disciplines. In 1989, he, along with Kader Attou, Eric Mezino and Chaouki Said, created his first company, Accrorap. In 1994, the company performed Athina at Lyon’s Biennale Dance Festival and was acclaimed for taking hip-hop from the street to the stage without losing its true identity. The troupe’s first international performance took them to refugee camps in Croatia, where they learned that dance could be a potent means of communication in extreme situations. In order to further develop his own artistic style and sensibility, he established his own company, Käfig, in 1996. In May 2004, Merzouki received the award for Best Young Choreographer at the International Dance Festival in Wolfsburg, Germany. In July of the same year, Merzouki was made a Chevalier des Arts et des Letters (Knight of Arts and 6 | IRVINE BARCLAY THEATRE

Letters) by the Minister of Culture and Communications. In 2008, he received the Créateurs sans Frontiéres Award (Creators without Borders) from Bernard Kouchner, France’s Minister of Foreign and European Affairs; the award singles out artists and cultural personalities who have had an impact on the international arts scene. In January 2006, Compagnie Käfig began a period of residence at Espace Albert Camus in Bron. The theatre became the venue of the Karavel Festival, created in 2007 under the leadership of Mourad Merzouki. The festival invites some 10 different hip-hop companies and other initiatives to the city. In parallel, Mourad Merzouki spearheaded the inception of a new center for choreographic creation and development: Pôle Pik opened its doors in Bron in 2009. In June 2009, Merzouki was appointed director of the Centre Chorégraphique National de Créteil et du Val-deMarne, where he developed a project called Dance: a window on the world. Alongside this project, he continues to create and present his works; provide training and raise awareness about hip-hop dance; organize unique encounters to promote access to the choreographic arts; and support independent dance groups. He is often invited to collaborate with other artists in France and abroad, contributing to the international reputation of hip-hop dance and his own company. Mourad Merzouki was named Knight of the Order of the Legion of Honor in 2012; and in 2013, the city of Lyon awarded him the Medal of the City.

Arlo Guthrie Arlo Guthrie has been known to generations as a prolific songwriter, social commentator, master storyteller, actor and activist. Born in Coney Island, New York in 1947, Arlo is the eldest son of Marjorie Mazia Guthrie, a professional dancer with the Martha Graham Company and founder of The Committee to Combat Huntington’s Disease, and America’s most beloved singer, writer, philosopher and artist Woody Guthrie. Arlo has become an iconic figure in folk music in his own right with a distinguished and varied career spanning over fifty years. Growing up Guthrie, Arlo was surrounded by such renowned artists as Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott to name only a few. Not surprisingly, Arlo drew from these influences and he in turn became a delineative figure bridging generations of folk. He and Pete Seeger created a legendary collaboration that was sustained for over forty years. The last Pete & Arlo show was in November 30, 2013 at Carnegie Hall, only a few months before Pete passed away at the age of 94. In 1965, a teenaged Guthrie performed a “friendly gesture” that proved to be fateful. Arlo was arrested for littering, leading him to be deemed “not moral enough to join the army.” Guthrie attained international attention at age 19 by recounting the true events on the album Alice’s Restaurant in 1967. “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree,” an 18-minute and 20 second partially sung comic monologue opposing the war and the backward reasoning of authority, has become an antiestablishment anthem and an essential part of Thanksgiving on rock stations receiving worldwide airplay. Alice’s Restaurant achieved platinum status and was made into a movie in 1969, in which Arlo played himself, by the esteemed director Arthur Penn. The year 1969 also brought Arlo to the rock festival of the ages, Woodstock. His appearance showcased Arlo’s chart-topping “Coming Into Los Angeles,” which was included on the multi-platinum Woodstock soundtrack and movie. Beginning the seventies with a number of albums for Warner Bros., Guthrie helped set the standard for the singer-songwriter genre burgeoning at the time. Perhaps the best known is Hobo’s Lullaby (1972) featuring a diverse body of work. Most notable is the definitive version of Steve Goodman’s “The City of New Orleans” that was a hit on all major charts. Another critically acclaimed album that charted on Billboard was Amigo (1976), which includes “Massachusetts,” honored in 1981 as the official state folk song. Taking complete creative control, Arlo left the major record label system in 1983 to fulfill his career as a truly independent artist, and established Rising Son Records, one of the first indie labels in existence. Rising Son is still in active operation serving as his record and production company. To date, Rising Son Records has released over twenty titles of Arlo’s, both all new material and re-mastered versions of his classic records including the Grammy nominated Woody’s 20 Grow Big Songs (1991) featuring Arlo and his family, and In Times Like These (2007), recorded with the University of Kentucky Symphony Orchestra. The latest offering is Here Come The Kids (2014), recorded at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, IL, from the previous tour of the same 8 | IRVINE BARCLAY THEATRE
name, celebrating the centennial of his father Woody Guthrie. In addition to his musical career, Guthrie is an accomplished actor with numerous television appearances. Arlo has had recurring roles in two major network television series (The Byrds of Paradise and Relativity), and feature films, the aforementioned Alice’s Restaurant and Roadside Prophets (1992). Arlo is the author of three children’s books and a distinguished photographer, showing his works in selected galleries. Inspired by his parents’ activism, Arlo bought the old Trinity Church (“the” church) that is now home to The Guthrie Center and The Guthrie Foundation. Named for his parents, The Guthrie Center is a not-for-profit interfaith church foundation dedicated to providing a wide range of local and international services. The Guthrie Foundation is a separate not-for-profit educational organization that addresses issues such as the environment, health care, cultural preservation and educational exchange. In 2009, Arlo was awarded the ASCAP Foundation Champion Award for making a difference through social action on behalf of worthwhile causes and demonstrating exceptional efforts in humanitarianism. Guthrie’s trademark ability to derail a song with a comical tangent and bring it right back on track with a relatable thought is as concise as ever. Fifty years after the historic events that launched him to reluctant celebrity, Arlo brings “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” in its entirety back to the stage for a 2015 international tour.

1990-2015 In 1974, Irvine voters approved the first of two bond issues to support the construction of a community performing arts facility. It was finally a partnership of the City of Irvine, the University of California, Irvine, and the volunteer leadership and professional staff of the nonprofit Irvine Barclay Theatre Operating Company that refined the vision and got the job done. The city led the construction; the university provided the land; the theatre’s operating company augmented public support with millions of dollars of private contributions including major gifts from the Barclay family, the Cheng family and The Irvine Company. Irvine Barclay Theatre opened to the public on September 30, 1990. Follow us on social media
