Although we are slowly getting back to in-person events, there are still options for all. As part of the “Spotlight” series Kayla Farrish/Decent Structures Arts will be on Gibney’s virtual platform Mar 24-26. Farrish will present Martyr’s Fiction which, according to the release, “…witnesses five venturing Black American and Women characters allowing themselves to finally dream, eruptively questioning reality, to reclaim life in a dance-theater narrative-film. Stemming from “who can afford to dream?” with lives based in survival and reality immersed in overwhelming surreal violence, each character pushes up against their boundaries-imposed and personal. In varying forms of film, histories, fantasy, and embodiment, their personal quests move through both imagination and reckon with truth as they transform. Immersing in stories of martyrs and unsung heroes, the narrative confronts what we think isn’t possible for ourselves—dismantling present conditions within American oppression.” For more information visit www.gibneydance.org
