All That Remains

November 12, 2024

The silhouettes of four dancers break up a dark stage strewn with long swaths of fabric and geometric sculptural shapes. They stand and kneel, each holding different objects, like a box, a long piece of cloth, and a plank of wood dragged by a wire handle.

This choreographic work unfolds across a desolate terrain, scattered with assemblages of industrial debris and organic matter, where the stage becomes a space of hybridization, a threshold between inner landscapes and external realities. Suspended in […]

A south-asian drag artist wears a gold, crushed-velvet leotard with matching knee-high high-heeled boots. The artist is caught mid gesture and mid word, reaching out with a look of shock on their face. In the background, an array of wigs perch atop a small cluster of mannequin heads.

Ramanenjana

November 14, 2023

A wide shot of three performers looking directly into the camera in various poses. The performer in the centre is a woman looking directly into the camera. She is in a wide stance, holding up one finger on each hand. The performer on the left is twisting her body towards the center. The performer on the right is a man lunging forward with both his arms raised behind his back.

Ramanenjana is a witty, captivating docufiction performance about a dance event that made history.  In Malagasy, Ramanenjana means something that makes you rigid but also makes you strong, but the dance was pathologized, labeled part […]
