1st Performance: In Myth & Infrastructure Matreyek performs in a multimedia production using projected animation she has created. Her silhouette becomes an integral part of a fantastical world. She traverses oceanscapes and cityscapes as she conjures magical domestic scenes with light and shadow. She becomes an island, walks among illuminated buildings, and ducks colored creatures dropping from the sky. What the viewer sees on the screen is a collapsed product of multiple layers of animation, objects and body, dissolving the barriers between the real and the illusory.
2nd Performance: This World Made Itself is Miwa Matreyek’s latest solo work merging cinematic vistas with theater and intricate shadow play. The fantastical kaleidoscopic experience is sophisticated yet full of child-like wonder. Its thematic journey takes you through the history of the earth, from the universe’s first spark of beginning to our complex, current world of humans redefining the earth. The performance unfolds as both a panorama referencing natural history and science (imagine flipping through a vividly illustrated children’s encyclopedia) and a dream-like spectacle of surrealistic metaphor and fantasy.
Q&A with the artist will follow after the second performance.
