Step into a world where animation, performance, and environmental storytelling converge in a singular, dreamlike experience. Internationally acclaimed artist Miwa Matreyek brings her spellbinding shadow performances to the Wheeler Opera House for one night only.Blending cinematic animation with live performance, Matreyek’s silhouette becomes part of the projected world—moving through oceanscapes, cityscapes, and surreal dream sequences that explore the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Her work has captivated audiences at TED, MoMA, Sundance, and beyond, and now comes to Aspen for an unforgettable evening of visual poetry and performance.
The evening features three of Matreyek’s most celebrated works:
Myth & Infrastructure: A fantastical journey through shifting landscapes, where the artist’s shadow becomes an integral part of the animated world, conjuring scenes of wonder and transformation.
This World Made Itself: A visually rich, semi-scientific, and emotionally resonant journey through the history of the Earth—from the birth of the universe to the rise of human civilization.
Infinitely Yours: A kaleidoscopic and urgent meditation on the climate crisis, this piece physicalizes the overwhelming stream of environmental news through haunting, surreal imagery.
Matreyek’s work invites us to see the invisible, feel the intangible, and reflect on our place in a rapidly changing world.
