Threads Dance Project ‘s Fall season performance excavates how our notions and impressions about each other and the world inform our sense of space, place, and knowing. Artistic Director Karen L. Charles continues to explore how movement can spark a new abolitionist movement with the premiere of Part 2 of her Abolition in Evolution triptych – Shoes; additionally, Objet de Desir Inaccessible which premiered at Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) in 2019 will be reimagined for the stage. Shoes is an allegory using feet and the shoes that adorn them to represent journey, judgement, and individuality. “Our gait can reveal us to be buoyant or bullish, dispirited or steadfast" (Cicely Tyson). What if we could walk uniquely yet together towards Utopia?
Objet de Désir Inaccessible (Unattainable Object of Desire) features Charles’ interpretation of the renowned painting Portrait of Madeleine (formerly titled Portrait of a Negress) utilizing research about the artist (Marie-Guillemine Benoist), her subject, and their relationship to explore racism, feminism, identity and concepts of beauty.
