ARMAGEDDON OR SUNRISE OR SOMETHING

It feels like a dive inside to maneuver the body elsewhere… a resistant state of internality against a hideous political world we live in right now. Dance scholar/choreographer, Tere O’Connor

ARMAGEDDON OR SUNRISE OR SOMETHING is an evening length duet made for and by Leah Wilks and Mauriah Donegan Kraker (l+M). The work is built on scores investigating exhaustion, endurance and the sensuality/the geographic of both internal and external landscapes. The duo grapples with the necessity of proximity to each other: they shake, rumble and drag each other to the ground, carry + sing to each other. Pulling from the duo’s different training histories in improvisation, olympic-level sport, ballet, modern dance technique, photography, and sound design, the piece functions as both a grief ritual and a space for reckoning with limitation.
