A woman moves slowly across a dimly lit stage. There is a pool of dried blood on her collarbone. This image opens Citation, a boundary- pushing performance by RAEGAN TRUAX programmed at CounterPulse on September 22, 2017.

It will be the first durational performance of this magnitude to occur on the CounterPulse stage. CounterPulse has always been a body- based experimental space interested in the archive tradition of art-making, says CounterPulse Artistic Director Julie Phelps. Raegan literally embodies this tradition without erasing the struggle involved in bringing queer and feminist histories to the surface.
