In this program, are we talking before you die will be performed for the first time. Being birthed from themes such as touch, water, rebirth, immunity, mirrors, disintegration, and ceremonial acts, are we talking before we die came to life through Carlson and Flohr’s joint exploration amongst the Redwoods in Northern California and late nights in the studio exploring textures, sound, and text. Throughout their joint explorations, are we talking before you die commemorates the communal desire to emulate sin and ritual.

Variation & Improvisation for ‘In Harmonia Progressio’ by Duto Hardono is part of a series of work that focuses on sound loops as a fundamental element of his performance – a metaphor that Hardono employs as he examines the human condition, such as time and temporal spatiality.

Experience the synergy of art, sound, and movement in a new performance composed by local musicians Dylan Edrich, Jenna Flohr, and artist Naama Tsabar that engages sculptural works from the artist’s ongoing series Work on Felt. Tsabar subverts our expectations of the seemingly soft sculptures by inserting carbon fiber and epoxy into felt to create a rigid hybrid material that holds its shape as it retains the tension of a piano string tethered to a guitar-tuning peg. These artworks defy the place of felt in instruments as a silencer and become the resonating chamber itself.
