On summer's sweltering days, a young Iona heads to the beach on a family outing with Daddy, Brother, Mama and Uncle - who always shows up. Even though the sandy shores and the seagulls swirling satiate Iona's lonely soul, she is already aware that her skin color and gender might have marked her. While younger Brother can 'do no wrong', Iona's path is unclear. Her Daddy is a respite but Mama is mostly unforgiving, especially toward Iona as she comes of age. After one argument with Mama too many, a teenaged Iona chooses to find her own way into the next chapters of her sometimes crude and luckily serendipitous journey. Told with song and story through the voices of her 'conscious/unconscious' Iona Flies Away is about a young black girl who grows into a woman. She is seeking love and significance because in life, hopefully, that's what happens.

Mariana Valencia's performance Covers, Singles, Shout Outs is an in-progress research that examines authorship by questioning what gets carried into her work through the modes of proximity, relation and alliance. Through this process Covers, Singles, Shout Outs seeks to manipulate perceptions of life and its collaborators. The work is sourced from various popular and cultural alliances and this particular ensemble of sources builds a choral surround of references. The work proposes a lens for observation that positions our personal and cultural attachment to objects and subjects, and why (or, if?) we choose to live among them. In Covers, Singles, Shout Outs, Valencia invites the audience to traverse a dense field of collective reference.
