TEXTURES OF OPACITY

TEXTURES OF OPACITY Choreography by Sanchita Sharma in collaboration with Aída Hernandez-Reyes and Lily Zapatero In a durational encounter between two bodies and three walls, TEXTURES OF OPACITY examines how people with histories of familial migration, who deeply know what it means to be routinely monitored, measured, and controlled, devise ways to remain immeasurable, excessive, and in refusal to become legible and assimilable. It asks: Can we imagine refusal as participation, refusal as freedom, refusal as survival? Two dancing bodies claim, test, refuse multiple identities Their bodies create polyrhythms Their bodies create text They partner with the fabric, with the wall Words in the center, Words on the wall They breathe heavily, laughing and talking to each other Edges, Opposites Their bodies synchronizing and weight-bearing Show Dates: Thursday September 24 at 8:00pm Industry Night* Friday September 25 at 8:00pm Saturday September 26 at 8:00pm Sunday September 27 at 4:00pm Run Time: ~50 minutes Doors: 30 minutes before the show *Industry Night will feature an Artist Talk after the show Location: Crashbox 5305 Bolm Rd Unit 12 Austin, TX 78721 Parking: Free parking in the lot and street parking is available Tickets: Tickets are sliding scale from $15 Discount: Use the discount code “INDUSTRY” to get $5 off tickets for the performance on Thursday, September 24.
