Atlas Revisited at EMPAC makes a political statement — with camels

In our media-saturated world, creating something new is becoming an increasingly difficult feat — and it's even tougher if you're trying to make a meaningful political statement, too.

That explains a lot about the dancing camels in "Atlas Revisited," a new multimedia performance by visual artist Karthik Pandian and dancer/choreographer Andros Zins-Browne, which will be shown at EMPAC Friday at 8 p.m.
