Sunday Salon – LILLETH: STRATA – performance (in progress)

Performance: 6:30 P.M. (ticketed)

Gallery Hours: 5–8 P.M. (free and open to the public)

STRATA is a multi-sensory performance, a collective lucid dream, an urgent embodied call to slow down and experience our (be)longing. In this elemental and surrealist myth of recreation, the artists quite literally attempt to reassemble a massive earth body. Inside the matrix of self-abandonment, violence, and ecological catastrophe, can this communal excavation reveal an alternate path towards somatic and interdependent possibility?

This in-progress presentation - visioned, choreographed, and directed by CPR 2023 Artist-in-Residence LILLETH - is part of Sunday Salon (in this case, happening on a Saturday), a program which supports work at various stages of development by CPR resident artists. To accompany the performance, there will be an exhibition on view in CPR’s Storefront Gallery of research, ephemera, objects, and scores on the intersecting scientific methodologies, creation myths, rituals, and somatic practices that inform this work.
