Farewell My Fool by JoyBoy da Clown
Farewell my fool.
Your time has come.
Starry eyed dreams die
When we’re young.
Featuring JoyBoy da Clown, performed and created by Joy-Marie Thompson, “Farewell My Fool” is a dance theater/performance art piece utilizes clowning and humor to interrogate the legacy of exploitation in performance, the failures of ambition, respectability politics, and self-realization.

LORE: little red riding hood by Prostalgia HD
A communal re-imagining of the classic folktale as an immersive dancefloor experience. Spectators are invited to dance while the story is told through original spoken word narration layered into a DJ set, liberating this coming of age story from bourgeois propriety and reclaiming its animalistic edge.
Lead artist + narrator: laura Hunter Petree | Lead artist + DJ: Delilah Friedler | Visuals: Luna Yixi Wu

The Booke of Dwindolyn by Lucyana Randall & Ryland Duncan
In this medieval farce, a humble scribe (Ryland Duncan) finds himself pressed into the service of an erratic, illiterate princess (Lucyana Randall) and tasked with helping her complete her life’s work— a sacred text of her own devising. THE BOOKE OF DWINDOLYN pits the word of God against the delusion of omnipotence as the pair attempt to distill reality itself into a single volume: the Noble Anncyclopaedia of All Things.
Written and Performed by Ryland Duncan and Lucyana Randall

Sun by Sophie Tegenu
A girl basks in the sun, hoping to turn into a raisin. Her dog tries to stop her.
Director: Ayana Francois Actors: Samori Etienne and Mahalet Tegenu
