Inspired by Pinocchio's plight to be a "real boy," Kyle Abraham’s new ensemble dance work investigates gender roles in the black community and the quest for acceptance in the world of hip hop celebrity. Questioning our current “emoticon culture” — How do we capture moments in our lives? Where have feelings gone? Are we becoming machines? — Live! The Realest MC references our own humanity in this digital age, creating an abstracted and humorously dark narrative that places the iconic childhood character in an industrial dystopia.
Featuring dancers Rena Butler, Elyse Morris, Chalvar Monteiro, Rachelle Rafailedes, Hsiao-Jou Tang; music composed by Herman "soy sos" Pearl; with visual artwork by Carrie Schneider and George Bolster.
Humans exploring collaboration, coops, hybrid art, dance, embodiment, cognition, tech-science, networks, post-humanism and culture.
WE LIVE WITHIN AN UNSTABLE LANDSCAPE
This is a social networking website connecting people concerned about innovation and experimentation on art, dance, embodiment, cognition, science, networks, post-humanism, media and the unstable landscape of contemporary culture and life.
We are in a transitional phase and refocusing the network with a broader interdisciplinary framework. It will reflect a contemporary community interacting and embedded unstablelandscape.
This network is maintained and administrated by Marlon Barrios Solano as an independent art/curatorial/social innovation project.
