Join us for an evening of multidisciplinary dance theater in a very special collaboration between visual artist Douglas Rosenberg, sound designer/composer Tim Russell, dramaturg Cláudia Tatinge Nascimento and choreographer Li Chiao-Ping.
The collaborators investigate "truth" as it relates to positionality, power, access and equity. Employing hyperbole, absurdity and raw dance/physical theater, Here Lies the Truth has brought together a powerful cast of dancers from across the county to perform their truths, share their stories and be seen in their identities in radical acts on stage.
Here Lies the Truth complicates the simplistic and simplifies the complex. The essence of this work is grounded in the truths we hold in our bodies: a deep knowing that is felt and sensed. Born from a commitment to telling personal truths, the collaboration has led to the re-examining of narratives put forth by those in power and those put forth by our own biases. We continue to investigate how to cope with such dissonance. With so much laid bare and little sense of justice, as a community of movers we sort through these murky layers of truths, half-truths, and untruths.
In addition to the esteemed collaborators, Here Lies the Truth features BIPOC dance artists JP Alejandro, Alfonso Cervera, Kimi Evelyn, Elisabeth Roskopf, and Abbi Stickels alongside LCPD's talented company dancers.
