SUMMARY:Chicago Performs | Lykanthea\, Some Viscera at Edlis Neeson Theater
DESCRIPTION:Lykanthea is a multidisciplinary collective led by artist Lakshmi Ramgopal\, whose performances and installations use pop idioms to experiment with traditional South Asian art forms. Her latest work\, Some Viscera\, is a collection of song and movement accompanied by immersive stage design that explores childhood\, kinship\, and memory in the contemporary Indian-American diaspora. The project features a multidisciplinary core ensemble starring Asha Rowland\, Erica Miller\, Johanna Brock\, and Ben Zucker. Together\, they integrate elements of Carnatic music\, Bharatanatyam dance\, Sanskrit and Tamil poetry\, Baroque chamber music\, and free improvisation to perform rich\, intimate dance theater. \nThe premiere of Some Viscera occurs within the frame of the arangetram\, a Tamil word meaning “ascending the stage.” It describes the arduous\, long-form\, solo performance through which students of classical Indian dance and music debut as mature artists—a celebrated but fraught rite of passage. The arangetram of Some Viscera consists of four principal movements. Each invokes avian and floral motifs from sources that include ancient classical dance and music\, medieval Sanskrit poetry\, the literary culture of India’s independence movement\, and Indian films of the late 1990s. By creating this fanciful world\, the movements reflect on cultural knowledge and breakdown. \nLykanthea presented an early iteration of Some Viscera in 2019 as a part of the MCA’s In Progress series. \nMasks must be worn during the performance per the artist’s request. \nEnglish CART captioning is available for the performance on Friday\, September 27. \nLive plants\, including roses and marigolds\, are present during the performance. If you are concerned about allergies\, please call the MCA Box Office for more information. \nAccessibility includes CART captioning (Sept 27th performance only)\, wheelchair accessibility. \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/lykanthea-some-viscera/

SUMMARY:Chicago Performs | cat mahari\, blk ark: the impossible manifestation
DESCRIPTION:cat mahari’s blk ark: the impossible manifestation is an interactive performance and installation\, with live\, semi-improvisational sound\, hip-hop and house dance\, and film. By exploring improvisational and Black cultural strategies of play\, learned from joanin’ and the soul clap\, mahari presents modes of survival and liberation\, revealing questions about what it will take to find freedom and map the road ahead for our collective futures. \nWhile the audience is encouraged to interact with the installation before or after attending the performance\, the installation and performances may be experienced individually\, offering two modes of engaging the ideas central to the project. \nAccessibility: English CART captioning is available for the performance on Sunday\, September 29\, and wheelchair accessible. \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/cat-mahari-blk-ark-the-impossible-manifestation/
