wide iris empty heaven
Alexa Solveig Mardon

wide iris empty heaven is a work-in-progress duet performed by Shahir Qrishnaswamy and Rhyan McCorkindale with costumes by Jaewoo Kang.

wide iris empty heaven swims alongside archetypes of angel, apparition and psychopomp – two figures as a morphing, singular messenger and tender of the threshold.
Holding one another is a spell 
for summoning the fortitude to see.

Performers: Rhyan McCorkindale, Shahir Qrishnaswamy
Costume: Jaewoo Kang

Magicicada
Rachel Meyer

In spring of 2024, two broods of periodical cicadas emerged simultaneously in central Illinois, coinciding with a visit to my childhood house in the small town of Collinsville. Billions of these insects emerged and shed their exoskeletons after living underground for 13 and 17 years. My home, seemingly unchanged since I moved out approximately 17 years ago, is now also surfacing a transformation.

Performers: Ariana Barr, Oksana Maslechko
Choreography: in collaboration with the artists
Composer: James Maxwell
Costume Fabrication: Robyn Jill Laxamana
