What happens when two performance artists—identities unknown to each other as well as to the audience until the day of the show—come together?

The artists featured in this event work with grief, humor, and the thin line between them as material for historicizing hyperpersonal traumas and triumph. Through choreography and vocal performance, their work reminds us that nostalgia is a reliable weapon against erasure, that collective memory serves as an antidote to national delusion.

This improvisational performance is part of a yearlong series titled AS LONG AS THERE ARE CATASTROPHES THERE WILL BE MIRACLES, organized by Black Life guest curator Gabriele Christian. Each installment promises an exciting pairing. We invite you to experience this season's "mystery duet"!
