A Binding Strangeness

Direction and choreography: Lelis K. Brito

Dancers: Genevieve Draškocí, Masanari Kawahara, Averie Mitchell-Brown, Arwen Wilder

A Binding Strangeness is an intimate physical theater work that combines a vocal soundscape, dancers, and an otherworldly installation to bring us together—in person—to meditate on the ties that bind us. We are all connected to each other in visible and invisible ways—through time, by circumstance, friction, through neural pathways laid down in a time without memory, through genetics, through powerful chance and slippery serendipity. We are entangled with forces far away yet close in their reactions. We swim in this sea of the incomprehensible, this binding strangeness.

HOW FUN

Written, directed, and developed by Ricardo Beaird, Megan Burns, Daisuke Kawachi, and Connor Lane

When’s the last time you had fun? Gabriel can’t remember. Set adrift after loss, Gabriel seeks out an online therapist to help him remember what it feels like to have fun. Using unusual methods ranging from telepathy to balancing LaCroix cans, the two hunt for the elusive nature of fun like their worlds depend on it. Neurosurgery by way of TikTok, How Fun asks what it costs to have a good time.
