home comings & goings: a diasp(h)oric experience

A presentation of new work by St. Louis-native keyon gaskin, home comings & goings: a diasp(h)oric experience, resists fixed meaning in favor of process, collaboration, and live construction. Working across movement, sound, light, and presence, gaskin builds a unique performance environment staged in The Luminary’s main galleries, shaped in real time through ensemble practice and improvisation. The work unfolds through relation – between performers, materials, and audience – allowing space for radical transformation, rather than interpretation.

During their St. Louis residency at The Luminary, gaskin will cast an ensemble of local Black performers, including sound artists, visual artists, and classically trained dancers. Through workshops and rehearsals, the group will develop the performance collectively culminating in two public presentations at on March 20 and 22 at 7pm.

Tickets are on sale now, with sliding-scale pay-what-you-can options available for both evenings.
