10:00pm . Ligia Lewis, Sorrow Swag

Sorrow Swag takes race and melancholy as points of departure for an experience that unfolds through the language of sadness. Performed by Biran Getnick with musical accompaniment by George Lewis Jr., the performance uses texts and images derived from mid-century classical theater (Beckett and Anouilh) to interrogate race, authorship, gender, and grief. Sorrow Swag disrupts the canonical by means of an imaginative reformulation that prioritizes sensation. The work takes place in an immersive visual and auditory space and uses color as a synesthetic texture and emotional referent to produce choreographies that engage language, text, affect and embodiment.
