The Exponential Festival, a month-long January festival for NYC-based emerging artists working in experimental performance, is proud to present the world premiere production of Duet-ed by What Holds Heat. What Holds Heat is a collaboration between Nic Adams (Icarus in the L.E.S.) and Cori Marquis (Cori Marquis + the Nines [IX] and LMnO3). Of their works, they write, "Our kinetic and experiential works of performance seek to extend the boundaries of theatre and expand its power for our audience. Our ensemble-based theatre prioritizes impressionistic storytelling, with subjects ranging from the intimate to the fantastical, while always being grounded in the complexity of human relationships." Since 2015, What Holds Heat has produced three original works for the stage, at venues like Dixon Place, The Bushwick Starr (as part of Target Margin Theater's Stein Labs), and Vital Joint.

'Specially Processed American Me' is a multidisciplinary performance using SPAM, the canned meat, to connect memories of artist Jaime Sunwoo's Korean-American upbringing, share her family's accounts of the Korean War, and examine SPAM's influence on Korean cuisine. 'Specially Processed American Me' investigates SPAM's legacy in the military, its place in individual and collective memory, and its consumer appeal through a narrative collage of monologues, animation, soundscapes, sculpture, and cooking. Thrashing between absurd humor and sober tragedy, genuine affection and biting criticism, 'Specially Processed American Me' is a thought provoking exploration of one of America's most iconic and misunderstood foods.
