About this Event
ERIN KILMURRAY + collaborators present the Function
Friday Nights . Four Shows . May 24 - June 14 . 3124 W Caroll Avenue.
Made within Chicago’s fringe performance scenes, choreographer Erin Kilmurray’s electric, femme-powered, world-building dance performance, the Function, takes shape for its very first month-long engagement at Land and Sea Dept’s warehouse space.
Through genre-bending DIY stage craft, iterative, athletic movement, house-party energy, and bass-driven, sonic storytelling from DJ / sound designer VITIGRRL — is a vibe.
Staged in a runway environment that gives audience members a front row seat, the Function offers a playground of choreography and objects. A stellar cast of dancers actively design, create, operate, and destroy their own utopias; asking and imagining what is possible when we are empowered to envision and rebuild our environments, atmospheres, futures, and realities.
