Join us Saturday Sept 28 or Sunday Sept 29 at dusk on the banks of the Mississippi, for a something/nothing dance/ritual/performance, for our griefs, for our beloved, for the circularity of time and the gaps we live in.FREE, but ticket registration is required via eventbrite: www.tinyurl.com/ritualsfornothing2024
FEATURING the incomparable Judith Howard, Krista Langberg, Sam Johnson, Jeffrey Wells, and Sylvan Madaus Derenne dancing alongside Monica Thomas and Theresa Madaus. With dramaturgy by Charles Campbell, lighting by Heidi Eckwall, and support by Matt Regan. Created by Theresa Madaus and Monica Thomas in collaboration with everyone/everything.
We are asking all the questions about ritual, grief, the gap between ourselves and the dead, ourselves and this land, the people, the history,the future, ways of seeing time, geologic and cosmic, pilgrimages and seeking, lies and divining, bringing down the stars, and the immense magnitude of care that is woven all around. We weave it backwards and forwards too.
What if everything is present, all the time? Open your eyes with us. We are opening our eyes to the trees, the ghosts, the rocks, the stardust, the oracles, the chaos, immeasurable sadness and impossible infinity. Nothing is everything is nothing is here right now is forever is never is here. Right now.
