Program A @ 7:00PM

Bob Eisen, Shua Group, Frédéric Nauczyciel, j. Bouey

Bob Eisen: The Big Dictator is coming—at least that’s what Iggy Pop says, which leads to a collaborative duet between dancer Bob Eisen and actor Tom Ligon.

Shua Group: Delving into the relational powers between voice and movement, the Detroit-based Shua Group presents Over, a performance about attention, limits, survival, and grace.

Frédéric Nauczyciel: The Ciné-Corps film A Baroque Ball (Shade) features 15 performers dancing to a Bach concerto in a baroque interpretation with clavichords.

J. Buoey: Mx. Black Copper, a trans-dimensional, hyper-empathic being, projects their consciousness back to our time from a future that has abolished oppression and reversed climate change. Upon their arrival, they sense the troubling atmosphere of our time and reflect the joy and grief of the planet as a message toward liberation.

Program B @ 8:30PM

ankita sharma, Flamenco Rosado, Isa Spector, Nina Laisné and François Chaignaud

ankita sharma: In labor, Kali awakens to the demands of worship and is remade into an idol. jagaana/Awaken/ is an excerpt from ankita sharma’s dhoka/Betrayal/, in which Kali’s ultimate power tips into destruction as Hinduism is colonized into propaganda for violence.

Flamenco Rosado: Flamenco Rosado will share a short excerpt of their work that straddles the experimental and traditional flamenco framework.

Isa Spector: Isa Spector’s A Larger Body is a meditation on masculinity set inside a story of a boy crossing a river with his pony.

Nina Laisné and François Chaignaud: “Why awaken me, O breath of spring,” from the opera Werther by Jules Massenet, was one of the airs that Michael Jackson sang in the intimacy of his own studio. This little known and intriguing piece of information is the starting point for Nina Laisné and François Chaignaud’s project, Mourn, O Nature!. In this film, presented with Ciné-Corps, the artists reinvent a Werther who has been absorbed by Jackson and shares a fascination for nature, the desire to revisit ancestral legends, and the expression of a distressing love. The performer sings, dances, and metamorphoses; he slips into different vocal and physical registers and seems to continue Michael Jackson’s dream of total expression.
