About this Event
A brand new work by Marcella Lewis and Rosalynde LeBlanc that explores the underbelly of Black communal relations as it pertains to silence around the taboos within the community. This choreographic work-in-progress will be an abstract exploration of the term “quiet as it’s kept” - an idiom rooted in the African American community that was said before relaying secret information. This cultural norm shielded and downplayed traumas in an effort to protect an individual's dignity and the community's shame. In the INDOOR.SWAPMEET, a locale with a storied past of abundance and vacancy, Lewis and LeBlanc embody friction between exposure and protection, asking: what does it cost a community to keep quiet and what becomes possible when that silence breaks?
Quiet As It's Kept, where silences, secrets, and forgotten places churn between oppositional forces, tracing the tension between what is held, the forces that keep it held, and what threatens to be revealed.
