[ ] (Presented by Adrienne Westwood & Angélica Negrón)

  • ODC Theater 3153 17th Street San Francisco, CA, 94110 United States (map)

A person stands at the forefront looking directly into the camera. The image is only their torso up. On the left their arm is raised gently touching a doll size chair that is suspended from the ceiling. They have on a short sleeve button up shirt and curly hair. The entire image is a purple blue color. There is a small cut out of a bike suspended from the ceiling as well and the shadow of it falls onto their face. The background is blurred but you can make out one person and other small suspended objects.

What does belonging mean in a family line? [ ] is a corporeal-sonic exploration into the untold histories of our femme ancestors co-created by choreographer Adrienne Westwood and composer Angélica Negrón, along with an interdisciplinary group of performers and creatives. [ ] is a dual experience of intimate performance and participatory installation. The work is anchored by an interactive musical sculpture from which “memories”– a collection of simple yet evocative objects – are suspended. [ ] calls in and holds experiences of private and personal memories of family lore, real/imagined histories, and femme ancestor's visible/invisible labor, ultimately asking “What is long ago but still right now?”

This is an ADA-accessible venue.
