tiny angel creatures [new working title]
a work in progress. formerly called soft warm light. for now it's something like this :
tiny angel creatures [working title] is a performance in which I try to tap into the sensation of heaven to stretch our understanding of being beyond our corporeal existence. through song, community, and embodied prayer, I reckon with my belief that our understanding of life is inherently limited, and try to bask in sacred unknowns. The transformative power of queerness and love fuel this exploration, with hope that embracing life as both insignificant/infinite can foster peace and power in the place of confusion and fear. perhaps we are tiny creatures floating through space, or glorious angels inhabiting human forms. perhaps we don’t exist at all. consciousness clouded by the constraints of living, I search for clues that connect me to something bigger, and invite these traces of Elsewhere to overwhelm me so that I may feel them so strongly they spill out beyond me, and into those who generously bear witness. praise to the ephemeral and incoherent. I believe in a utopic afterlife [beforelife and nowlife too] to give me hope and purpose. in residence with Studio 303 + MAI for 2023-24 dans cette performance, je chante, je danse et j'essaie de faire apparaître une brèche vers un lieu situé en dehors de cette existence et de cette forme terrestre _my words, from this CCOV residency recap |
