Nol Simonse, Jim Cave, and Christy Funsch premiere new works September 8-10, 2022 at CounterPulse!
Christy Funsch's latest sextet, kid subjunctive, embodies collective futurism. Framed as a series of episodes in answer to the questions "what is desired?" and "what is possible?" kid subjunctive centers performer agency in a physical adventure of accountability. Each episode of the work holds several potential options for performers to enact in the moment, and each individual choice reverberates among the rest of the ensemble. kid subjunctive is accompanied by a score generated from live performer vocalizations and recorded sounds.
Nol Simonse and Jim Cave are sharing a devised theater piece that uses dreams, mythology, seances, paganism, kink, and ghost stories as inspiration, and circles around questions dealing with our death and mortality. What is the obsessive nature of death? What is the romanticized nature of death? How do we observe death? How do we experience death? How do we move through death, and the fear that comes with it? The anxiety of mortality, and the fascination of the unknown beyond are core themes.
