ABOUT THE SHOW
Tale of Cuani
Lakisha May *
After a horrific experience, a sex worker discovers she has the power to manipulate & cause pain. Cuani is like the Aztec goddess, Tlaelcuani/Tlazolteotl, who in one form inspires debauched behavior & in another form forgives sinners and removes corruption from the world. In this staged workshop, we will see her discover & hone her superpower. She will learn to fight, as well as control her ability to cause & relieve pain. A large screen placed upstage will project key elements of the story. The unique staging will play with shadowy silhouettes, boxing choreography & graphic monologues.
~PLUS~
Jitterbug and the Aftermath
Donna Costello
Jitterbug and the Aftermath is a raw, expressionistic exploration of grief, panic, post-sexual-liberation & an unmoored feminine identity. Through a patchwork of movement & text culled from dated feminist art & embarrassing 40th birthdays, two women collide & disconnect with their fears, desires & each other. This absurd, devised work fuses dance & physical clown theater to conjure contemporary women’s search for an elusive equilibrium.
