@ Montreal (2015)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...
                                                                    -W.B. Yeats, The Second Coming 

Two towers of cold, polished steel stand a wary distance from one another. Between them arcs an erie glow, a web of uncanny and beautiful electricity. This image, fresh from a Tesla imaginarium, is the guiding metaphor of our outcome on gender and performance. Perfect femininity and masculinity exist all around us in images, songs and the rest of the media panopticon. 
But these ideals cannot be surmounted, nor ignored and we find ourselves living in the shadow of them. Our work is the revolt, the mockery, the celebration and the attempted escape from gender.  Perhaps we are destined to fail, but we are also bound to try.  As we do so, the spectator may look on at their own risk, lest they find themselves confounded, seduced, or even implicated by our struggle.

Performed in Montreal, Nov 6-9, 2014
