Daniel Fish + Brian Rogers

Interdisciplinary artist Daniel Fish and Chocolate Factory Theater co-founder / Artistic Director Brian Rogers will share their new experimental films. Anonymous Cathedral, by Daniel Fish, is a visual meditation on the street life of a single day in Brooklyn, shot in the fall of 2020. Small Songs, by Brian Rogers, is an abstract autofictional travelogue - and a love letter to the artist Nancy Holt - made from footage captured during several cross-country road trips between 2021 and 2024.

Force! is an opera, but what is an opera? If opera means “big work,” what could be blacker? In this big work, characters become fractals for the abundant relationships blooming in the shadows of the state and carceral power. In this big work, a constellation imagines a strange sisterhood with the power to disintegrate walls.

Everything Must Go is a dance theater work that emerges from satirical questioning into the consumption of experimental performance. It examines the ways in which capitalism provokes a savior complex in artists, urging us to demonstrate goodness amidst crisis.

DD Dorvillier

Returning to perform in the US for the first time in several years, French transplant DD Dorvillier crafts a solo in collaboration with sound artist Sébastien Roux, structured by dance scores which emerged from a dream. In this work dance digs as an archeologist, as the dancer’s present is confronted by an immediate sonic past, as she moves towards the future.

“We started with the idea of fairy tales as portals into queerness, transformation and the indulging of forbidden desires; a resistance to the numbing effects of normativity. Hoary is a practice of being in our bodies, of not knowing something but making something anyways.”
