March 7, 8 and 9 at 8pm and March 10 at 2 pm
ka*nei*see | collective and Cat Call Choir in association with Z Space, announce the March 7-10 performances of the highly successful evening-length work "Nevertheless," featuring new songs, a larger cast and newly choreographed sections. Drawing inspiration from the feminist battle cry, "Nevertheless, she persisted," this new iteration of "Nevertheless" surveys the field of gender-based harassment from the subtle to the violent, in a marriage of song and dance, comedy and horror. "Nevertheless" interweaves the companies of Cat Call Choir and ka*nei*see | collective in explorations of topics that will feel familiar to some and frightening to others, ranging from being told to smile to being followed home at night. Garnering the recognition of Senator Elizabeth Warrren in 2018, this reprise of "Nevertheless" features an expanded cast of 25 singers and dancers, performing 17 vignettes with new material and new voices exploring gender discrimination, harassment and sexual violence. "Nevertheless" also will feature a companion gallery installation from Bay Area and national artists who are exploring similar themes in their work.
The "Nevertheless" gallery installation is open two hours prior to every performance and is free to the public, featuring artists also addressing themes of sexual harassment. Sareytales transforms the creepy, cruel and more often than not obscene real-life messages received on dating apps into works of art. Created by Detroit artist Sarey Ruden, Sareytales has since evolved into a platform which empowers other women to stand up to the online bullying, anti-semitism and cyber-sexual harassment culture of online-dating. Wax That Ass is a series of interactive butt sculptures, molded from actual women's butts, that combat and comment on sexual harassment. Created by Bay Area artist Allison Bouganim, the sculptures incorporate technology and have buttons and sensors on them, that once touched project different sounds and phrases.
