SUMMARY:Jonas Becker\, New Normal at the MCA
DESCRIPTION:Jonas Becker’s New Normal explores how we\, as individuals in society\, adjust to large-scale cultural trauma\, environmental deterioration\, the loss of civil liberties\, and increased financial precarity. As conditions erode over time\, expectations shift silently for some\, for others violently. The performance follows an improvisational score in which six trans-masculine performers respond to the slow violence of our current moment through endurance and illusion\, struggle and support. Rocks that appear heavy are made of paper\, and gestures where performers entangle each other oscillate between aggression and care. Importantly\, some radical bodies resist normalization\, while for others\, the new normal is nothing new. The performers test their limits\, adjust and readjust\, responding physically to diminishing environmental standards and political conditions. This presentation expands on an In Progress showing of the work in the MCA’s main atrium in 2019\, with an emotionally resonant arrangement of motion\, sound\, and lighting. \nRun time: 45 minutes \nChicago Performs is organized by Tara Aisha Willis\, former MCA Curator\, with Laura Paige Kyber\, Curatorial Associate. \n\n\n\nAccess Information:\nPrior to the performance the lights will be set low. Please let a staff member know if you need assistance to your seat. \nAudio Description and CART captioning are provided for the performance on Sunday\, September 10.
