Colliding together choreography and videomaking, the exuberant and unashamedly entertaining video “Mariachi 17” (2009), is an excellent example for La Ribots tactic of the single take with hand-held camerawork. A tightly choreographed production involving three performers and an elaborate set, “Mariachi 17” teems with teasing cinematic references from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s “The Red Shoes” (1984) to Sam Raimi’s comedy “Crimewave” (1985), and ingenious spatial effects. Hectic videos-within-videos and perspectival spaces-within-spaces create a giddy sense of perpetual motion.
